Evidence of Invasive Reptiles as Novel Paratenic Hosts of Angiostrongylus cantonensis in the Canary Islands: Implications for Parasite Transmission in Island Ecosystems [PDF]
AnimalsAngiostrongylus cantonensis is an emerging zoonotic nematode whose transmission relies on complex host interactions. Although reptiles are recognized as paratenic hosts, data on invasive reptilian species remain scarce.
