Sensitive Detection of Foodborne Parasitic Larvae Using a Sieving–qPCR Workflow: Application to Angiostrongylus cantonensis

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Contaminated food and water represent potential infection sources of Angiostrongylus cantonensis, a parasitic nematode with significant zoonotic potential. Limited environmental surveillance may be due to the absence of simple and reliable screening methods. Different methods of A.

Proteasome serves as pivotal regulator in Angiostrongylus cantonensis-induced eosinophilic meningoencephalitis.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Proteasome primarily degrades the unneeded or damaged proteins by proteolysis. Disruption of the brain barrier and its resulting meningoencephalitis caused by Angiostrongylus cantonensis are important pathological events in non-permissive hosts.

Probing Cinnamamides and Benzamides as Anthelmintics: Discovery of Potent Drug‐Like Agents Against Angiostrongylus cantonensis

Chemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 108, Issue 1, July 2026.
Cynnamoyl benzylpiperazine was identified as drug‐like derivative of cinnarizine with anthelmintic activity against A. cantonensis. In this work, 15 out of 31 derivatives showed improved anthelmintic activity with increased solubility. A SAR study was carried out to determine the molecular features involved in such effect.

Zoonotic risks in urban areas: Prevalence of helminth parasites in urban populations of Lissachatina fulica in Sarawak, Malaysia

Veterinary Record Open, Volume 13, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Background The giant African land snail (Lissachatina fulica), an invasive species with significant medical, agricultural and economic importance, is abundant in urban areas of Kota Samarahan, Sarawak. The proximity between humans and the snail may increase the risk of pathogen transmission.

Eosinophilic Meningitis in Two Cows.

Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 1993
A neurological disorder was noted in 5 cows on a farm. Histopathological examination in 2 of these 5 animals revealed an infiltration of eosinophils with some macrophages in the meninges and around arterioles of the cerebral cortex. The endothelial cells of the reactive blood vessels were swollen.
