ABSTRACT
The effects of neuropharmacological agents on the motility of irradiated and non-irradiated Angiostrongylus cantonensis adult females were studied. GABA induced complete paralysis in non-irradiated and 5,000 R-irradiated worms, but caused only slight paralysis on 10,000 R-irradiated worms. The paralytic effect of GABA was antagonised by picrotoxin. The reason for low susceptibility of heavily irradiated worms to GABA is not known. There was no difference in susceptibility of non-irradiated and irradiated worms to other neuropharmacological agents including eserine, phenylephrine and dibenamine.
