2. Methods
In order to evaluate the current status, we performed an advanced PUBMED and Google Scholar search (December 2023), with the combination (and/or) of keywords “Angiostrongylus cantonensis” “eosinophilic meningitis” “Pomacea ” and “Taiwan”. We also searched journals, reports from Ministry of Health and Welfare of Taiwan (http://www.mohw.gov.tw/) and newspapers (http://www.taiwannews.com.tw). The results obtained from this investigation were filtered in order to identify the clinical cases reported from Taiwan and obtain a brief understanding of the current scenario of Angiostrongylus cantonensis infection. Additionally, a clearer picture was obtained relating to the risk associated with the massively growing invasivePomacea spp. populations in Taiwan.
