Mitochondrial Genome Supports Sibling Species of Angiostrongylus costaricensis (Nematoda: Angiostrongylidae)
Angiostrongylus costaricensis is a zoonotic parasitic nematode that causes abdominal or intestinal angiostrongyliasis in humans. It is endemic to the Americas. Although the mitochondrial genome of the Brazil taxon has been published, there is no available mitochondrial genome data on the Costa Rica taxon. We report here the complete mitochondrial genome of the Costa Rica taxon and its genetic d...

متن کاملPhylogeography of Angiostrongylus cantonensis (Nematoda: Angiostrongylidae) in southern China and some surrounding areas
Angiostrongylus cantonensis is of increasing public health importance as the main zoonotic pathogen causing eosinophilic meningitis or meningoencephalitis, which has been documented all over the world. However, there are very limited studies about its phylogeography and spread pattern. In the present study, the phylogeography of A. cantonensis in southern China (including Taiwan) and partial ar...

Fourteen species of the genus Angiostrongyltls, created by KAMENSKY ( 18 ) , have been described, but among these only A. cantonensis (Chen, 1935) Dougherty, 1946 has been incriminat{:d as a causal agent of disease in mano The first investigators who found this parasite in human s were Nomura and Lin in 1945 (BEAVER and ROSEN, 10) . However, because the paper was published in ]apanese, it faile...
متن کاملBehavior of Angiostrongylus costaricensis in planorbids.
Some terrestrial mollusks are natural hosts of Angiostrongylus costaricensis. In the laboratory, this nematode can be maintained in certain planorbids, which are aquatic mollusks and intermediate hosts of Schistosoma mansoni. Mollusks can be infected with Angiostrongylus costaricensis by ingestion of or active penetration by the first-stage larvae. In this work we assessed the ability of Biomph...
