Abstract
A red ruffed lemur (Varecia rubra) from a zoo in Louisiana, USA, was euthanized for worsening paresis. Brain and spinal cord histology identified eosinophilic meningoencephalomyelitis with intralesional adult Angiostrongylus sp. nematodes. PCR and sequencing confirmed A. cantonensis infection, indicating this parasite constitutes an emerging zoonosis in the southeastern United States.
摘要
美国路易斯安那州一家动物园的一只红色卷尾猴（Varecia rubra）因进行性瘫痪而被安乐死。大脑和脊髓组织病理学检查发现伴有嗜酸性粒细胞性脑膜脑脊髓炎的病灶内有成年 Angiostrongylus 属线虫。PCR 和测序证实了广州管圆线虫感染，表明这种寄生虫在美国东南部构成了一种新出现的人畜共患病。
