First record of natural infection by Angiostrongylus cantonensis (Nematoda: Metastrongyloidea) in Tanychlamys indica (Godwin-Austen, 1883) in the city of São Paulo, Brazil
It is evident that further research is imperative to map the distribution of T. indica in Brazil and to assess its potential as an intermediate host for the nematode A. cantonensis, as well as the economic risks to agriculture. Over the past two decades, human cases of neuroangiostrongyliasis have been documented in the Southeast, North, Northeast, and South regions of Brazil. Additionally, there are records of natural infection with A. cantonensis in molluscs and rodents.
