Description

The survey of Angiostongylus cantonensis in rodents was performed in six areas of Yoron Island on December 2003. Rodents were trapped with snap-traps. Captured rodents were identified and their length and weight were measured. The lungs, heart and brain were removed, placed in saline and examined for A. cantonensis. Rattus rattus were captured in five sites out of six sites. Two out of nineteen R. rattus (10.5%) were parsitized with A. cantonensis.
