Neuroangiostrongyliasis: accidental zoonosis caused by the rat lungworm

Microbiology Australia
The genus Angiostrongylus comprises parasitic nematodes that primarily infect the respiratory and circulatory systems of vertebrates, posing significant medical and veterinary concerns. The life cycle involves an indirect transmission between definitive and intermediate mollusc hosts, such as slugs or snails. Three species, A.

In vivo efficacy of pyrantel pamoate as a post-exposure prophylactic for rat lungworm (\u3ci\u3eAngiostrongylus cantonensis\u3c/i\u3e)

, 2022
Rat lungworm (Angiostrongylus cantonensis) is a neurotropic nematode, and the leading cause of eosinophilic meningitis worldwide. The parasite is usually contracted through ingestion of infected gastropods, often hidden in raw or partially cooked produce.

Local lung responses following endobronchial elastase and lipopolysaccharide instillation in sheep

, 2006
Chronic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure may contribute to the pathogenesis of a number of lung diseases including COPD and emphysema. We sought to develop a large-animal model of emphysema using repeated LPS administration into sheep lung segments.

Eosinophilic meningoencephalitis associated with rat lungworm (Angiostrongylus cantonensis) migration in two nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) and an opossum (Didelphis virginiana) in the southeastern United States

, 2017
Angiostrongylus cantonensis, the rat lungworm, was the cause of neural larval migrans in two nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) and one Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana) from the southeastern United States.
