Angiostrongylus cantonensis

Angiostrongylus cantonensis
the rat lungworm, a species that parasitizes the domestic rat primarily in Australia and many Pacific islands. Larval development occurs in snails, slugs, and planarians; in rats, the adult worms are found in the bronchioles. Human infection is caused by ingestion of larvae in raw seafood; see angiostrongyliasis.
