Species Identity and Size are Associated with Rat Lungworm Infection in Gastropods
EcoHealth, 2020Angiostrongylus cantonensis, the rat lungworm, is an emerging zoonotic pathogen that cycles between definitive rat and intermediate gastropod hosts. Zoonotic infection occurs when humans intentionally or accidentally consume infectious larvae in a gastropod host, and may manifest as neuroangiostrongyliasis, characterized by eosinophilic meningitis ...

Albendazole is considered the anthelmintic of choice for the management of rat lungworm disease (neuroangiostrongyliasis), due to its broad spectrum of nematocidal activity and its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. Albendazole binds to β-tubulins, preventing their polymerization into microtubules, thereby corrupting the cascade of cell division

Lungworm from Rats captured in Britain
Nature, 1957DURING the period December 1954–April 1956, the lungs of a total of 191 wild rats from Cambridge, Cardiff, Liverpool, London, Nottingham, St. Albans and Wolverhampton were examined for lungworms. They included 24 Rattus rattus L. and 167 Rattus norvegicus Erkl. It was only possible to examine fresh lungs of nine Rattus rattus from London. The remaining

Flubendazole and mebendazole given orally at 10 mg/kg/day 5-7 days post-infection (total 30 mg/kg) were found to eliminate 93-100% of Angiostrongylus cantonensis larvae in mice and rats. No significant difference was observed between the effects of the 2 drugs.

Angiostrongyliasis or Rat Lungworm Disease: a Perspective From Hawai'i
Current Tropical Medicine Reports, 2018Angiostrongyliasis is contracted by the ingestion of or exposure to the zoonotic parasite Angiostrongylus cantonensis, which requires two hosts to complete its life cycle. Rats are known to be the definitive hosts and mollusks are intermediate hosts.
