Serum antibodies in suspected angiostrongyliasis patient were detected by ELISA. The antibody titre was 1:51,200 in the serum and 1:6,400 in CSF with preadult A. cantonensis antigen. Other tests like AGD and CIEP failed to show any positive reaction with both preadult and adult worm antigens. Experimental infection with 100 A. cantonensis larvae in albino rats indicated positive CIEP reaction in serum from the day 5 to 375 after infection. No precipitin line was seen on the other hand, in AGD during observation period. Different rat groups infected with larval doses of 100, 500, 2,000, and 5,000 showed positive CIEP reaction, on the 21st day of infection when preadult worms were seen in CNS. There was no CIEP reaction when a low dose of 15 larvae was used. Cerebral fluid of rats infected with heavy dose of 5,000 larvae showed positive CIEP reaction on the 21st day.
