Abstract
The article focuses on the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in the brains of rabbits infected with Angiostrongylus cantonensis. In this study MRI and histological techniques were used to observe the changes in the brains of seven rabbits infected with the third-stage larvae of A. cantonensis. Changes were monitored by MRI from day 0 to 207 postinfection. The author of this study discusses the clinical features of the infection.
