Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases, 2021 Both Angiostrongylus cantonensis and Angiostrongylus mackerrasae have been identified along the east coast of Australia. A lack of A. mackerrasae genomic data until 2019, however, has precluded the unequivocal identification of the Angiostrongylus ...

The scourge of Rat lungworm disease in Continental Europe, an emerging parasite
International Journal of Surgery: Global Health, 2023 In Europe, rat lungworm diseases have so far been reported exclusively at the insular level, specifically in Rattus norvegicus and R. rattus rats in Tenerife (the Canary Islands) and Atelerix algirus hedgehogs in Mallorca (the Balearic Islands). Researchers in Spain detected the parasite, the rat lungworm (Angiostrongylus cantonensis), in two different

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.

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.
