Evaluation of the mechanism of action of albendazole on adult rat lungworm (Angiostrongylus cantonensis)

Experimental Parasitology, 2022
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

Species Identity and Size are Associated with Rat Lungworm Infection in Gastropods

EcoHealth, 2020
Angiostrongylus 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 ...

Angiostrongyliasis (Rat Lungworm Disease): Viewpoints from Hawai‘i Island [PDF]

ACS Chemical Neuroscience, 2017
Hawai'i, particularly east Hawai'i Island, is the epicenter for angiostrongyliasis in the United States. Case numbers have been increasing and appear to parallel the introduction and spread of the semislug (Parmarion martensi) to east Hawai'i. The infective larvae in rainwater catchment as a source for household and agricultural water may also play a ...

Lungworm from Rats captured in Britain

Nature, 1957
DURING 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

Efficacy of a PP2A vaccine for Angiostrongylus costaricensis against rat lungworm disease caused by Angiostrongylus cantonensis in wild-caught rats (Rattus rattus) in Hawaii

Vaccine
The nematode Angiostrongylus cantonensis is a rat lungworm, a zoonotic pathogen that causes an emerging infectious disease known as neuroangiostrongyliasis or rat lungworm disease.

Studies on Anthelmintic Effects of Flubendazole and Mebendazole on the Rat Lungworm Angiostrongylus cantonensis in Mice and Rats

The Journal of Parasitology, 1986
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.
