Abstract
None:
The Angiostrongylus cantonensis rat lungworm is a zoonotic nematode that infects several rat species. This nematode causes eosinophilic meningitis and meningoencephalitis in humans and other accidental hosts. We found a 20% prevalence of A. cantonensis lungworms in black rats from a zoo facility in Houston, Texas, USA.
