Neural angiostrongyliasis (NA) is a parasitic disease caused by (rat lungworm). This study presents a case of NA in a captive Bolivian squirrel monkey from a zoo in western Sydney, Australia. The objective was to identify the 1 haplotype responsible for the infection and compare its mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) to known Australian mtDNA.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Kresen Pillay"

  • - Kresen Pillay's recent research focuses on the parasitic disease neural angiostrongyliasis (NA), particularly its impact on captive wildlife, exemplified by a case study involving a Bolivian squirrel monkey in Australia.
  • - The study aimed to identify the specific haplotype responsible for NA infection and analyze its mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in comparison to existing Australian mtDNA profiles.
  • - Findings contribute to a better understanding of the epidemiology of NA and inform risk mapping efforts for this disease in zoological settings, highlighting the importance of monitoring parasitic infections in captive animal populations.
