AI Article Synopsis
- - Five survey sites in Hainan Province were chosen, and one village was randomly selected from each to study knowledge and risk factors associated with Angiostrongyliasis cantonensis, including infection rates tested by ELISA.
- - Out of 393 surveyed individuals, 20.6% tested positive for IgG antibodies, with 39.7% reporting recent snail consumption, and 12.5% indicating they ate raw snails.
- - Awareness of A. cantonensis was notably low (8.4%), and analysis indicated that eating snails and geographic location were potential risk factors for infection.
Article Abstract
Five survey sites were selected from Hainan Province and one village were randomly extracted in each site. A survey that covered knowledge and risk factor on angiostrongyliasis cantonensis was conducted and infection rate of Angiostrongylus cantonensis tested by ELISA. Among 393 sampled people, the sero-positive IgG rate was 20.6% and about 39.7% residents were found with a history of eating snails in recent half year, 12.5% from respondents had the habit of eating raw snails.
