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

Rainfall- and Temperature-Driven Emergence of Neural Angiostrongyliasis in Eastern Australia, 2020–2024 Open
Neural angiostrongyliasis (NA), caused by rat lungworm (Angiostrongylus cantonensis), is an emerging zoonotic disease on Australia's east coast. The number of cases has risen since 2010. This study investigated the diagnosis, genetic diver…

Neuroangiostrongyliasis: accidental zoonosis caused by the rat lungworm Open
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 betw…

Isolate-specific rat brain transcriptional responses to rat lungworm (<i>Angiostrongylus cantonensis</i>) Open
The rat lungworm (Angiostrongylus cantonensis) is an invasive parasite of rats that in accidental hosts, such as dogs and humans, causes eosinophilic meningitis. In Australia, only two distinct rat lungworm cox1 haplotypes have been detect…
Older urban rats are infected with the zoonotic nematode Angiostrongylus cantonensis Open
Rats, being synanthropic, are hosts to agents of zoonotic diseases that pose a threat to human and domestic animal health. The nematode parasite Angiostrongylus cantonensis, commonly known as the rat lungworm, is no exception; it can cause…
Fatal neural angiostrongyliasis in the Bolivian squirrel monkey (Saimiri boliviensis boliviensis) leading to defining Angiostrongylus cantonensis risk map at a zoo in Australia Open
Neural angiostrongyliasis (NA) is a parasitic disease caused by Angiostrongylus cantonensis (rat lungworm). This study presents a case of NA in a captive Bolivian squirrel monkey from a zoo in western Sydney, Australia. The objective was t…
Rat lungworm (<i>Angiostrongylus cantonensis</i>) active larval emergence from deceased bubble pond snails (<i>Bullastra lessoni</i>) into water Open
Angiostrongylus cantonensis (the rat lungworm) is a zoonotic parasite of non-permissive accidental (dogs, humans, horses, marsupials, birds) hosts. The 3 rd stage larvae (L3s) in the intermediate host (molluscs) act as the source of infect…
Angie-LAMP for diagnosis of human eosinophilic meningitis using dog as proxy: A LAMP assay for Angiostrongylus cantonensis DNA in cerebrospinal fluid Open
Background Angiostrongylus cantonensis (rat lungworm) is recognised as the leading cause of human eosinophilic meningitis, a serious condition observed when nematode larvae migrate through the CNS. Canine Neural Angiostrongyliasis (CNA) is…

What the fox? Cryptic Eucoleus [Capillaria] sp. in the respiratory tract of a cat from Australia Open
Eucoleus aerophilus (syn. Capillaria aerophila) is a zoonotic trichuroid nematode parasite of dogs, cats and wild carnivores with a global distribution. The main reservoir species in Europe is the red fox, where it has been detected in up …
