Positive correlation of prevalence of Angiostongylis cantonensis in Parmarion martensi (semi-slug) with higher human neuroangiostrongyliasis (rat lungworm disease) caseloads in east Hawai‘i Island

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology
Toward a better understanding of Angiostrongylus cantonensis infection within intermediate gastropod hosts, we evaluated prevalence of A. cantonensis in gastropods from east Hawai'i Island and Kaua'i, and used this data to begin to explore how gastropod infection may relate to human neuroangiostrongyliasis patterns in these regions.
