Abstract:
The rat lungworm, Angiostrongylus cantonensis, is an invasive, zoonotic parasite that can cause severe disease in humans. We collected A. cantonensis larvae from 2 host species, invasive apple and mystery snails, from bodies of water in Georgia, USA. Recreational water users should avoid ingesting potentially infected hosts, aquatic vegetation, and water.
