广州管圆线虫（A. cantonensis）可致嗜酸性脑膜炎，其生命周期复杂、宿主多样。研究人员开展其生物学研究，明确了生命周期、分布等，还取得基因组等方面进展。这有助于理解宿主 - 寄生虫关系，防控相关疾病。 在自然界中，有一种神秘的寄生虫正悄然威胁着 ...

本文聚焦云南大理 2007 - 2021 年广州管圆线虫（Angiostrongylus cantonensis）感染情况，分析 125 例病例及市场福寿螺感染率。发现病例集中于春季，且与福寿螺感染趋势相似。研究为防控广州管圆线虫病提供依据，强调需加强防控措施。 引言 广州管圆线虫病 ...

The finding is concerning given the calamitous infection the rat lungworm, aka Angiostrongylus cantonensis, can cause in humans. The parasitic nematodes are, as their name suggests, typically ...

Rat lungworm disease is caused by the body’s immunoresponse to the parasite Angiostrongylus cantonensis. A. cantonensis begins its life cycle after a rat eats an infected snail or slug.

The immature, or larvae, form of A. cantonensis was detected in seven of them. The researchers then tested the capacity of centipedes to serve as intermediate hosts for A. cantonensis by infecting ...

Lab tests confirmed that they were infected with rat lungworm, otherwise known as Angiostrongylus cantonensis, which had caused a type of meningitis. The parasite can fully mature in rats, ...

Lab tests confirmed that they were infected with rat lungworm, otherwise known as Angiostrongylus cantonensis, which had caused a type of meningitis. The parasite can fully mature in rats, ...

Angiostrongylus cantonensis favors tropical climes, and used to crop up only in Asia and some parts of the Caribbean. But after seeing just a pair of cases in the preceding decade, Hawaii reported ...

A genetic analysis confirmed that A. cantonensis was in four of these worm-ridden samples, and the genetic sequences perfectly matched those of lungworms previously collected in Louisiana.

This test provided important clues that led to doctors discovering angiostrongyliasis, a parasitic infection caused by the roundworm Angiostrongylus cantonensis, commonly known as rat lungworm.
