Current Angiostrongylus cantonensis distribution

This is an interactive map of geographic distribution of Angiostrongylus cantonensis. Start by selecting a location in the map to display more information and relevant reference. We appreciate any comments, corrections and/or additions.

The findings of worms assigned to A. cantonensis are based on published data and are not geo-referenced. Once the parasite is detected in a given administrative region, the whole area is highlighted. Note, that this applies also for regions composed of several islands. Thus, the fact that a given island is highlighted does not necessarily mean that the parasite is present in this particular location.
