Název v původním jazyce

Angiostrongylus cantonensis emergence in Australia, Pacific Islands and Canary Islands revealed using complete mitochondrial DNA.

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The rat lungworm Angiostrongylus cantonensis is of increasing public health importance as the cause of eosinophilic meningitis or meningoencephalitis in humans and companion animals as well as wildlife. In many places, it is behaving as an emerging infectious disease. The parasite is assumed to have spread from South East Asia relatively rapidly after the Second World War to many tropical and subtropical countries with introduced rats (Rattus rattus, R. norvegicus). The parasite requires an intermediate mollusc hosts, including a range of invasive species (Achatina, Veronicella, Pomacea spp.) to complete its life cycle. In the South East Asia, A. cantonensis forms a genetically diverse assemblage comprising several distinct genetic lineages and mitochondrial haplotypes. Whether all lineages are capable of invasion to new territories is unknown. To address this question, we are obtaining complete mitochondrion sequences (mtDNA) of A. cantonensis originating from diverse locations where C. cantonensis is emerging ? Australia, the Big Island of Hawaii, French Polynesia and the Canary Islands. The obtained mtDNA sequences enable us their comparison to those publicly available from South East Asia (China, Thailand, Taiwan) elucidating the origin and diversity of the dominant invasive lineage of A. cantonensis.
