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.

A severe case of rat lungworm disease in Hawa'i.
Hawai'i journal of medicine & public health : a journal of Asia Pacific Medicine & Public Health, 2014A 23-year-old man living on the island of Hawa'i developed a life threatening case of eosinophilic meningitis caused by infection with Angiostrongylus cantonensis (rat lungworm disease: RLWD). He was comatose for 3 months, incurring brain and nerve damage sufficiently extensive that he was not expected to recover.

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of angiostrongylosis in tawny frogmouths (Podargus strigoides) and brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) with signs of neurological disease, and to describe the clinicopathological features of angiostrongylosis in both species.

Angiostrongylus cantonensis and rat lungworm disease in Brazil.
Hawai'i journal of medicine & public health : a journal of Asia Pacific Medicine & Public Health, 2014The metastrongyloid nematode genus Angiostrongylus includes 18 species, two of which are relevant from a medical standpoint, Angiostrongylus costaricensis and Angiostrongylus cantonensis. The first was described from Costa Rica in 1971 and causes abdominal angiostrongyliasis in the Americas, including in Brazil.

AbstractThis study surveyed the genetic differences among Angiostrongylus cantonensis (A. cantonensis) using the mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytb) gene. Partial cytb sequences were determined for 91 worms from eight locations in Thailand. Using morphological techniques, the nematodes were found to be A. cantonensis. Phylogenetic analysis found two main

Lidocaine Infusion for Refractory Pain from Rat Lungworm Disease - Honolulu, Hawai'i.
Hawai'i journal of health & social welfare, 2021Human infection with Angiostrongyloides cantonensis, or rat lungworm disease, manifests most commonly with neurologic symptoms that often include severe diffuse pain. While pain is reported by the majority of patients with rat lungworm disease, there are presently no published guidelines on the approach to pain management for these patients.

Experimental infections of Pila ampullacea with first stage larvae of Angiostrongylus cantonensis were carried out to determine susceptibility of this molluscan host in relation to dose level and snail host size. Snails were divided into 3 size groups and exposed to A. cantonensis first stage larval suspensions of varying concentrations.
