<i>Angiostrongylus cantonensis</i> an Atypical Presenilin: Epitope Mapping, Characterization, and Development of an ELISA Peptide Assay for Specific Diagnostic of Angiostrongyliasis

Background: Angiostrongyliasis, the leading cause universal of eosinophilic meningitis, is an emergent disease due to <i>Angiostrongylus cantonensis</i> (rat lungworm) larvae, transmitted accidentally to humans. The diagnosis of human angiostrongyliasis is based on epidemiologic characte...
