13. Comparative transcriptomic analysis of two important life stages of Angiostrongylus cantonensis: fifth-stage larvae and female adults
Abstract The mechanisms involved in the fast growth of Angiostrongylus cantonensis from fifth-stage larvae (L5) to female adults and how L5 breaks through the blood-brain barrier in a permissive host remain unclear. In this work, we compared the transcriptomes of these two life stages to identify the main factors involved in the rapid growth and transition t

14. Scientometrics of zoonoses transmitted by the giant African snail Achatina fulica Bowdich, 1822
ABSTRACT The dissemination of the giant African snail Achatina fulica in several countries has triggered a great number of studies on the mollusk, including those on zoonoses related to health in humans. The current research is a scientific survey on articles published in four databases, namely, PubMed, Bireme, Scielo and Lilacs. Results indicate that Brazil

15. Characterisation of the vascular pathology in Sigmodon hispidus (Rodentia: Cricetidae) following experimental infection with Angiostrongylus costaricensis (Nematoda: Metastrongylidae)
BACKGROUND Angiostrongylus costaricensis is a nematode that causes human abdominal angiostrongyliasis, a disease found mainly in Latin American countries and particularly in Brazil and Costa Rica. Its life cycle involves exploitation of both invertebrate and vertebrate hosts. Its natural reservoir is a vertebrate host, the cotton rat Sigmodon hispidus. The

16. Prevalence and distribution of Angiostrongylus cantonensis (Nematoda, Angiostrongylidae) in Achatina fulica (Mollusca, Gastropoda) in Baixada Santista, São Paulo, Brazil
ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION Angiostrongylus cantonensis is causes eosinophilic meningoencephalitis in humans. Worldwide expansion of this nematode is linked to the dispersion of their hosts. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of A. cantonensis infection in Achatina fulica in the nine municipalities that make up Baixada Santista, São Paulo, Brazil. MET

17. Aspectos anatomopatológicos do parasitismo por nematódeos da superfamília Metastrongyloidea em cachorro-do-mato (Cerdocyon thous) de vida livre no Centro-Oeste brasileiro
RESUMO: Nematódeos da superfamília Metastrongyloidea afetam o sistema respiratório, cardiovascular e nervoso de carnívoros domésticos e são incomuns em animais silvestres. Este trabalho descreve os achados anatomopatológicos de um caso de parasitismo pulmonar por nematódeos da superfamília Metastrongyloidea em um cachorro-do-mato ( Cerdocyon thous

18. Suscetibilidade de Biomphalaria glabrata submetida à infecção concomitante com Angiostrongylus costaricensis e Schistosoma mansoni
Resumo A facilidade de adaptação do Angiostrongylus costaricensis, nematódeo responsável pela angiostrongiliase abdominal, a diversas espécies de moluscos terrestres e dulciaquícolas e as divergências observadas nas interações dos trematódeos com seus hospedeiros intermediários nos induziu a estudar a infecção concomitante de Biomphalaria glabra

19. New host, geographic records, and histopathologic studies ofAngiostrongylus spp (Nematoda: Angiostrongylidae) in rodents from Argentina with updated summary of records from rodent hosts and host specificity assessment
To date, 21 species of the genus Angiostrongylus (Nematoda: Angiostrongylidae) have been reported around the world, 15 of which are parasites of rodents. In this study, new host, geographic records, and histopathologic studies of Angiostrongylus spp in sigmodontine rodents from Argentina, with an updated summary of records from rodent hosts and host specific

20. Angiostrongylus cantonensis infection in molluscs in the municipality of São Gonçalo, a metropolitan area of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: role of the invasive species Achatina fulica in parasite transmission dynamics
The aim of this study was to analyse the infection dynamics ofAngiostrongylus cantonensisin its possible intermediate hosts over two years in an urban area in the state of Rio de Janeiro where the presence ofA. cantonensis had been previously recorded in molluscs. Four of the seven mollusc species found in the study were exotic.Bradybaena similariswas the mo

21. Brazilian Angiostrongylus cantonensis haplotypes, ac8 and ac9, have two different biological and morphological profiles
Angiostrongylus cantonensis is the etiologic agent of eosinophilic meningoencephalitis in humans. Cases have been recorded in many parts of the world, including Brazil. The aim of this study was to compare the differences in the biology and morphology of two different Brazilian haplotypes of A. : ac8 and ac9. A significantly larger number of L1 larvae elimi

22. Eosinophilic meningitis caused by Angiostrongylus cantonensis: an emergent disease in Brazil
Eosinophilic meningitis (EoM) is an acute disease that affects the central nervous system. It is primarily caused by infection with the nematode Angiostrongylus cantonensis. This infection was previously restricted to certain Asian countries and the Pacific Islands, but it was first reported in Brazil in 2007. Since then, intermediate and definitive hosts in
