🪱Angiostrongylus cantonensis
Der Ratten-Lungenwurm (Angiostrongylus cantonensis) ist ein Parasit, dessen Hauptwirt Ratten sind, in deren Lungen er lebt. Als Zwischenwirt dienen verschiedene Landschnecken und Krabben. Experimentell sind auch Meeresfische infizierbar, allerdings wird angenommen, dass die Larven keine große Resistenz gegen Salzwasser aufweisen. Auch Menschen können durch den Parasiten infiziert werden – etwa, wenn sie infizierte, nicht durchgegarte Schnecken essen. Dies kann zu einer Hirnhautentzündung, einer eosinophilen Meningitis führen.
