摘要
Achatina fulica, the intermediate snail host of angiostrongyliasis also also an agricultural pest, is being bred in Brazil for human consumption as ''escargot''. The snail has escaped from its artificial breeding sites and its dispersal in Itariri county State of S. Paulo, is reported here for the first time. A. fulica is a transmitter of the mt lungworm Angiostrongylus cantonensis, nematode which causes meningoencephalic angiostrongylinsis; the risks of human contamination are commented on.
