Abstract
A case of Angiostrongylus costaricensis in a captive C. penicillata in a German zoological garden is described. Clinical symptoms were lacking, the morphological lesions consisted of intestinal granulomas harbouring rhabdidiform larvae. The adult worms were present in the ileo-caecal branches of the mesenteric artery.
