Neuroangiostrongyliasis Infection Risk Near Preschool Centres in Mallorca, Spain: A Pilot Micro‐Epidemiological Study

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 6, Page 515-522, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Neuroangiostrongyliasis, caused by Angiostrongylus cantonensis , is a globally emerging zoonosis, with Spain being the only endemic country in Europe. Human infection occurs through ingestion of gastropods or paratenic hosts carrying third‐stage larvae, often leading to eosinophilic meningoencephalitis.

Angiostrongylus cantonensis Meningo‐Encephalitis in Children—Heightened Awareness Needed During Prolonged Wet Weather Conditions

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 472-481, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Angiostrongylus cantonensis, the leading cause of eosinophilic meningoencephalitis, is well established in eastern Australia. Prolonged wet weather in Queensland during 2021–2022 coincided with anecdotal reports of increased neuroangiostrongyliasis cases, prompting an evaluation of paediatric cases from 2013 to 2022.

Gastrointestinal Parasites of Zoonotic Importance Detected in Bats in the Conservation Area of Semuliki National Park, Western Uganda

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Bat guano may contain zoonotic parasites that contaminate the environment and/or serve as a potential source of infection to humans and animals. Repeated bat–human exposure could be a risk factor for zoonosis. To date, knowledge on the status of bat gastrointestinal parasites (GIPs) in Uganda is limited.
