摘要：
Parastrongylus (= Angiostrongylus) cantonensis is a parasitic nematode of Norway rats throughout tropical regions. This parasite is neurotropic and causes disease and death in humans and other mammals. We report the first identification of P cantonensis as the cause of a debilitating neurologic disease in a captive primate in Florida.
