To determine the role of rats as potential reservoirs of zoonotic parasites, we examined rats trapped in urban sewers of Valencia, Spain, in 2021. Morphologic and molecular identification and sequencing identified autochthonous Angiostrongylus cantonensis nematodes, the most common cause of human eosinophilic meningitis, in pulmonary arteries of Rattus norvegicus and R. rattus rats.
为了确定老鼠作为人畜共患病寄生虫潜在宿主的作用,我们在 2021 年检查了西班牙巴伦西亚城市污水系统中的被捕老鼠。形态学和分子鉴定及测序在挪威鼠和褐家鼠的肺动脉中发现了本地的广州管圆线虫线虫,这是人类嗜酸性脑膜炎的最常见原因。
