Protocols
The endangered Ryukyu long-furred rat (Diplothrix legata) can serve as a definitive host of Angiostrongylus cantonensis. Here, we present a simple diagnostic method for detecting first-stage larvae (L1) in fecal samples of the Ryukyu long-furred rat. This method can be performed at local veterinary clinics and field survey sites without the need for specialized equipment and at low cost.
