Abstract

Angiostrongylus cantonensis causes eosinophilic meningitis in humans and animals. We report a fatal case of A. cantonensis in a spider monkey, with descriptive microscopic findings, molecular diagnosis and a subsequent environmental investigation at a zoo in Sorocaba municipality, Brazil. This case highlights the importance of One Health surveillance for parasitic zoonosis.

一只蜗牛的故事：由广州管圆线虫引起的蜘蛛猴致命的脑膜脑炎和在巴西圣保罗的蜗牛中的检测

广东管圆线虫在人类和动物中引起嗜酸性脑膜炎。我们在巴西索罗卡巴市的一家动物园报告了一只蜘蛛猴中发生的致命病例，并进行了描述性的显微镜检查、分子诊断和随后的环境调查。该病例突出了“同一卫生”对寄生虫人畜共患病监测的重要性。

期刊介绍： Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports focuses on aspects of veterinary parasitology that are of regional concern, which is especially important in this era of climate change and the rapid and often unconstrained travel of people and animals. Relative to regions, this journal will accept papers of the highest quality dealing with all aspects of disease prevention, pathology, treatment, epidemiology, and control of parasites within the field of veterinary medicine. Also, case reports will be considered as they add to information related to local disease and its control; such papers must be concise and represent appropriate medical intervention. Papers on veterinary parasitology from wildlife species are acceptable, but only if they relate to the practice of veterinary medicine. Studies on vector-borne bacterial and viral agents are suitable, but only if the paper deals with vector transmission of these organisms to domesticated animals. Studies dealing with parasite control by means of natural products, both in vivo and in vitro, are more suited for one of the many journals that now specialize in papers of this type. However, due to the regional nature of much of this research, submissions may be considered based upon a case being made by the author(s) to the Editor. Circumstances relating to animal experimentation must meet the International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research Involving Animals as issued by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (obtainable from: Executive Secretary C.I.O.M.S., c/o W.H.O., Via Appia, CH-1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland).
