ABSTRACT
The presence of Angiostrongylus cantonensis excretory secretory (ES) products was detected in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of infected rats using a coagglutination assay. There was clear agglutination in 100% of CSF samples tested of the rats infected with third-stage larvae of A. cantonensis and neither of the 20 non-infected rats produced agglutination. The assay detected 250 ng/ml or more of ES products. This assay is simple, easy to perform with minimum training and requires no equipment.
