Angiostrongylus cantonensis IgG

Angiostrongylus cantonensis is a parasite that can be transmitted to humans who consume raw or undercooked snails or slugs. Some people are symptomless or have only mild symptoms that don’t last very long. Sometimes the infection causes a rare type of meningitis. This test helps to diagnose Angiostrongylus infection by detecting IgG antibodies to the parasites.
