“…Due to the high economic and environmental costs attributed to the African giant snail, different control strategies have been adopted. The concept of eradication in the action plan against the African giant snail was replaced by the concept of management, as previously implemented strategies did not obtain results in eradication, thus emerging new strategies that use the combination of alternative control methods (da Silva and Marques, 2017;de la Ossa et al, 2017).…”

The mollusk Achatina fulica, which is popularly known as the African giant snail, is the secondary vector of the helminths Angiostrongylus cantonensis and Angiostrongylus costaricensis, both of which cause human angiostrongyliasis. This species belonging to the class Gastropoda, belongs to the subclass Pulmonata, where terrestrial mollusks such as slugs, snails and snails are inserted. The introduction of this mollusk in Brazil occurred in a disorderly manner culminating in a problem of great environmental impact due to the behavior of agglomeration, direct competition with mollusks of the natural fauna for food and space. These factors may even put the mollusks of the native fauna at risk of extinction. In addition, the fact that the mollusk does not present a food requirement makes it an imminent economic danger, due to the fact that it can devour crops, generating an economic impact. To date, the only known control measures for A. fulica are the collection and direct salinization in the mollusk. Thus, another limitation in the control of infestation of this invasive species is the ignorance of a synthetic or natural substance, with effective molluscicide action and also duly legalized by the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA). In this context, it is easy to observe that there is a scarcity of studies aimed at obtaining new substances for the control of terrestrial molluscs. Since most studies of products with molluscicides are especially focused on aquatic molluscs, increasing the relevance of new studies and products, with effective action on A. fulica, and with low environmental impact.

“…A catação manual é o método mais eficaz (Almeida, 2016) em relação ao químico e físico (Fischer, Caires e Colley, 2015), sendo indispensável essa forma de controle do molusco (Julio e Machado, 2017;Almeida, Pereira e Lima, 2016). A catação manual consiste no manuseio do caracol gigante africano e seus ovos com a utilização de luvas descartáveis ou sacos plásticos.…”

A espécie Achatina fulica está presente em diversas partes do mundo adaptando-se as condições ambientais. Essa adaptabilidade é preocupante, pois a espécie transmite aos seres humanos o helminto nematódeo Angiostrongylus, tanto o costaricensis como o cantonensis. Em Maringá, cidade localizada na Região Sul do Brasil, o molusco está presente, e conta com mais de 780 reclamações realizadas pela população da existência da espécie nas residências urbanas. O objetivo desta pesquisa é compreender como ocorre a interação de Achatina fulica com as condições ambientais em que são encontrados na zona urbana do município de Maringá, no sentido de saber se as condições são favoráveis para sua permanência e reprodução. Bem como avaliar os riscos potenciais a saúde humana por meio dos questionários utilizados durante as entrevistas. Os procedimentos metodológicos demandaram da utilização de questionários para avaliação qualiquantitativa com a população; a coleta das coordenadas foi realizada com o Sistema de Posicionamento Global (GPS) Garmim Etrex. Para elaboração do mapeamento, utilizaram-se os softwares ESRI ArcGIS 10.1®, Quantum Gis 2.18.2 e Corel Draw X7® para finalização dos mapas; realizou a coleta de temperatura, umidade, luminosidade e altitude, por meio do aparelho multimedidor "Termo-higro-anemômetro-luxímetro-altímetro-barômetro-Kr875"; realizamos também análise de regressão logística utilizando o software SAS® University Edition. Ao final das análises, concluímos que Maringá possui as condições ambientais favoráveis à existência e reprodução da espécie. Quanto aos questionários identificamos que há roedores (ratos) em mais de 50% das residências, assim, aumentando as chances dos caracóis estarem contaminados, sendo um risco a saúde humana. Palavras-chave: Caracol gigante africano, análise ambiental, regressão logística, arborização.

In Colombia, the control of giant African snail populations (Achatina fulica) has been enforced for the past eight years according to the Environmental, Housing, and Territorial Development Ministry (MAVDT from its initials in Spanish). During this period, the environmental authorities have carried out a series of campaigns for snail eradication and to raise awareness in the general community to involve it in the control of this invasive species. In order to inquire about the perception of the citizens of Cali, Colombia, have of the giant African snail and their role as primary stakeholders in the local control programs, a structured survey was done, and the dependency on the sociodemographic characteristics was established through Fisher’s exact test. 316 people took part in the survey; over 80% of the individuals recognized the giant African snail and their form of control, but over 90% of them did not participate in the control campaigns. The perception of the giant African snail varied noticeably with the respondents’ age and was independent of socio-economic and educational level. In conclusion, it was detected a solid dissociation between people and the actions carried out by the environmental authority. It is recommended to take into account people’s concept of invasive species control in other cities as a fundamental instrument in the construction of a more dynamic and inclusive control model.
