| مستخلص: | Angiostrongylus cantonensis is a tropical lungworm of rats known for central nervous system migration in aberrant primate hosts. Here, we describe A. cantonensis infection in three captive callitrichids from a Texas zoo. The affected animals included a Goeldi's monkey (Callimico goeldii), a cotton-top tamarin (Saguinus oedipus), and a pied tamarin (Saguinus bicolor) that ranged from 8 to 18 years old. Clinical signs included lethargy, ataxia, and seizures. Histologically, these animals had an eosinophilic meningoencephalitis to myelitis and some areas had abundant macrophages and parasite migration tracts. All cases had intralesional metastrongyle parasites, and nematodes were extracted from the formalin-fixed brain specimen in one case. This extracted parasite was identified as Angiostrongylus cantonensis based on morphologic features and diagnosis was confirmed with PCR. These cases represent the first report of this parasite in non-human primates in Texas, highlighting the western spread of A. cantonensis in the continental United States.
