Quick Summary:

• Angiostrongylus is a genus of microscopic, parasitic worms (also called nematodes) that can cause diseases of the gastrointestinal system or central nervous system in humans. Such diseases are referred to as Angiostrongyliasis
• One species of this parasite, called Angiostrongylus cantonensis (or rat lungworm), is commonly found in Southeast Asia and the Pacific islands. This species of parasites can cause eosinophilic meningitis (meningitis with a high percentage of the white blood cell, eosinophils), in the fluid surrounding the brain or cerebrospinal fluid
• Another species, called Angiostrongylus costaricensis, is commonly found in Latin America and the Caribbean.  This species can cause eosinophilic gastroenteritis, which is characterized by a large number of eosinophils in the gastrointestinal tract and blood
• Angiostrongyliasis occurs either through the ingestion of infected snails and slugs that are raw or undercooked, or via consuming raw vegetables that are contaminated with slime or pieces of snails and slugs. The infection does not spread from one individual to another
• Not all infected individuals may show symptoms of Angiostrongyliasis. When symptoms do occur, they can resemble bacterial meningitis or acute appendicitis, depending on the species that infected the individual. However, in most cases, the infections from these parasites resolve spontaneously without treatment
