Visceral Larva Migrans-Like Syndrome Caused by Angiostrongylus Costaricensis
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1982In two cases of ectopic localization of Angiostrongylus costaricensis adult worms and eggs were seen in the liver, causing a granulomatous inflammatory reaction with dense eosinophilic infiltration and necrosis. In the first case, although antibodies for A. costaricensis had been demonstrated, a clinical diagnosis of visceral larva migrans was recorded;

Evaluating host–parasite co-adaptation relationships involving Angiostrongylus costaricensis
Journal of Helminthology, 2017AbstractAngiostrongylus costaricensis is a parasite that infects rodents, including the wild cotton rat Sigmodon hispidus and pygmy rice rats Oligoryzomys spp., among others. However, urban Rattus norvegicus and Mus musculus have not been identified as important hosts of A. costaricensis. In this study, Swiss mice (SW), Wistar R.

Humoral immune responses in mice infected with Angiostrongylus costaricensis
Serodiagnosis and Immunotherapy in Infectious Disease, 1989Abstract The nature of antibody responses were investigated in mice experimentally infected with ten third stage larvae of Angiostrongylus costaricensis. An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was designed to detect the circulating antibodies using adult somatic (SA) and excretory-secretory (ES) antigens.

Angiostrongylus costaricensis egg antigen for the immunodiagnosis of abdominal angiostrongyliasis
Journal of Helminthology, 2008AbstractAngiostrongylus costaricensis is the aetiological agent of human abdominal angiostrongyliasis, a parasitic disease reported from the United States to Argentina, with a widespread occurrence of the nematode throughout Central and South America. This study assesses the performance of A.

Presence of Angiostrongylus Costaricensis Morera and Céspedes 1971 in Colombia
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1981Angiostrongylus costaricensis, producing abdominal angiostrongyliasis, is known to occur in humans and/or rodents in the Western Hemisphere, namely in the U.S.A. (Texas), Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, and Brazil, Rats, Oryzomys caliginosus, in Colombia were found to harbor the parasite.

Spermatic Artery Obstruction caused by Angiostrongylus Costaricensis Morera and Céspedes, 1971
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1983An 8-year-old boy was admitted to hospital with acute testicular pain. A diagnosis of torsion of the testicle was made, and an orchidectomy was performed. Histopathological study showed necrosis of the testicular parenchyma caused by arterial obstruction, and adults of Angiostrongylus costaricensis were found within the spermatic arteries. In addition,

Interleukin-5 transgenic mice show augmented resistance to Angiostrongylus costaricensis infection
Parasitology Research, 2002To determine the possible role of eosinophils in Angiostrongylus costaricensis infection, both interleukin-5 (IL-5) transgenic (Tg) and non-transgenic (non-Tg) C3H/HeN mice were infected with A. costaricensis third-stage larvae. IL-5 Tg mice demonstrated greater resistance than non-Tg mice to A.

First Record of Angiostrongylus Costaricensis Morera and Céspedes, 1971 in Ecuador
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1983Third-stage metastrongyle larvae were recovered from slugs (Vaginulus sp.) collected in Santa Lucia, Ecuador, a town about 40 miles north of Guayaquil. Some of the larvae were inoculated into laboratory-bred cotton rats and adults of Angiostrongylus costaricensis were later recovered. This is the first report of this parasite in Ecuador.
