Small-scale spatial analysis of intermediate and definitive hosts of Angiostrongylus cantonensis

ConclusionsP. canaliculata and rats were widely distributed in Nanao Island and positive infection has also been found in the hosts, demonstrating that there was a risk of angiostrongyliasis in this region of China. The distribution of positiveP. canaliculata and rats exhibited spatial correlation, and the GWR model had advantage over the OLS model in the spatial analysis of hosts ofA. cantonensis.
