Interface Molecules of Angiostrongylus cantonensis: Their Role in Parasite Survival and Modulation of Host Defenses

International Journal of Inflammation, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Angiostrongylus cantonensis is a nematode parasite that causes eosinophilic meningoencephalitis in humans. Disease presents following the ingestion of third‐stage larvae residing in the intermediate mollusk host and disease manifests as an acute inflammation of the meninges characterized by eosinophil infiltrates which release a battery of ...

Angiostrongylus costaricensis and experimental infection of Sarasinula marginata II: elimination routes [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2003
Angiostrongylus costaricensis intermediate hosts are terrestrial mollusks mostly belonging to the Veronicellidae family. In the present investigation we focused on the mechanisms of larval expulsion from Sarasinula marginata infected with A. costaricensis. Twenty-five mollusks were individually infected with 5000 L1 and sacrificed at 30 min and 1, 2, 4,

Angiostrongylus vasorum: Experimental Infection and Larval Development in Omalonyx matheroni

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
The susceptibility and suitability of Omalonyx matheroni as an intermediate host of Angiostrongylus vasorum and the characteristics of larval recovery and development were investigated. Mollusks were infected, and from the 3rd to the 25th day after infection, larvae were recovered from groups of 50 individuals.
