Abattoir Surveillance of Suspected Cystic Echinococcosis in Cattle: Insights From Molecular Analysis in a Hypoendemic Area

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic disease of global public health impact. In hypoendemic regions, the epidemiological role of cattle as intermediate hosts remains unclear, and routine abattoir‐based surveillance may overestimate prevalence due to diagnostic limitations.

Moose Survival and Habitat‐Associated Risk of Endoparasites

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
We observed high rates of adult and calf moose survival in New York State, with mortality primarily due to disease associated with giant liver fluke infections. Calf mortality risk increased with increasing use of wetlands, where they can acquire giant liver fluke infections, and decreased with higher amounts of nutritional energy available.

The long‐term outcome and changes in tricuspid regurgitation pressure gradient in dogs diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension and Angiostrongylus vasorum infestation

Journal of Small Animal Practice, Volume 66, Issue 11, Page 797-807, November 2025.
Objectives Angiostrongylus vasorum (AV) is a metastrongylid parasite that has been associated with pulmonary hypertension (PH) in dogs. The objectives of the study were to describe the clinical presentation of dogs with AV and PH, document changes in tricuspid regurgitation maximum pressure gradient (TR Max PG) in subsequent months and years, record ...

The mitochondrial genome of Angiostrongylus mackerrasae as a basis for molecular, epidemiological and population genetic studies

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Angiostrongylus mackerrasae is a metastrongyloid nematode endemic to Australia, where it infects the native bush rat, Rattus fuscipes. This lungworm has an identical life cycle to that of Angiostrongylus cantonensis, a leading cause of ...

Modelling the distribution in Hawaii ofAngiostrongylus cantonensis(rat lungworm) in its gastropod hosts

Parasitology, 2018
AbstractAngiostrongylus cantonensis(rat lungworm), a parasitic nematode, is expanding its distribution. Human infection, known as angiostrongyliasis, may manifest as eosinophilic meningitis, an emerging infectious disease. The range and incidence of this disease are expanding throughout the tropics and subtropics.

Diverse Gastropod Hosts of Angiostrongylus cantonensis, the Rat Lungworm, Globally and with a Focus on the Hawaiian Islands

PLoS ONE, 2014
Eosinophilic meningitis caused by the parasitic nematode Angiostrongylus cantonensis is an emerging infectious disease with recent outbreaks primarily in tropical and subtropical locations around the world, including Hawaii. Humans contract the disease primarily through ingestion of infected gastropods, the intermediate hosts of Angiostrongylus ...
