“…With the increase of income and living standards, and the pursuit of exotic and delicate foods, populations around the world have seen angiostrongyliasis become an important foodborne parasitic zoonosis (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9).…”

“…The only case previously documented in Florida occurred in 2004, where a case of fatal A. cantonensis meningoencephalitis was diagnosed in a white-handed gibbon (Hylobates lar) from Zoo Miami (formerly Miami Metrozoo) (Duffy et al 2004). Other species reported with clinical disease from this parasite include humans, non-human primates, dogs, horses, opossum, mice, birds, and various other zoo animals (Gardiner et al 1990;Alicata 1991;Carlisle et al 1998;Kim et al 2002;Duffy et al 2004;Gelis et al 2011;Lunn et al 2012). Also known as the rat lungworm, A. cantonensis is a nematode that normally lives in the right ventricle and pulmonary artery of various species of rat, the definitive host (Alicata 1991).…”

Also known as the rat lungworm, A. cantonensis is a nematode that normally lives in the right ventricle and pulmonary artery of various species of rat, the definitive host (Alicata 1991). Rats shed first-stage larvae in feces, which are then acquired by mollusks, the intermediate hosts, where they develop into the infective L 3 larval stage (Diaz 2009).…”

“…El sacrificio de las ratas se realizó en una cámara de CO 2 Los tejidos del Sistema Nervioso Central (SNC) fueron fijados y conservados en formalina al 10%, incluidos en parafina, cortadas y teñidas con hematoxilina-eosina para su observación, según el procedimientos estándar de Duffy et al (2004).…”

“…Las L1 se convierten en larvas L2-L3, que son ingeridas por los roedores (Rattus spp). Estas larvas llegan al cerebro como L4-L5 a las dos semanas pos-infección, para descender cuatro semanas más tarde al sistema cardiopulmonar, donde alcanza su estado adulto (Alicata, 1991 Debido a los reportes en la región y a la escasez de estudios que especifiquen los daños causados por el paso de A. cantonensis en el sistema nervioso central, el objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar las alteraciones y lesiones anátomo-patológicas que pudieran presentarse en el Sistema Nervioso Central (SNC) y el tiempo que puedan perdurar estos cambios en las ratas silvestres y de laboratorio experimentalmente infectadas.…”
