“…Seven cities,Jamundí (3º15'N-76º32''W),Cali (3º26''N-76º31''W),Palmira (3º31'N-76º81'W), Buga (3º54'07' N-76º18'4' W),Tuluá (4º05'N-76º12'W),Bugalagrande (4º12'N-76º18''W) and Cartago (4º44'N-75º54''W), were located along the geographic valley of the Cauca River, over a flat topography with an average elevation of 1000 m about mean sea level, 900 mm annual precipitation and average temperature of 25ºC. Another city, Dagua (3º39'N-76º41''W),was located on western flat of the western Andes mountain at 1235 m about mean sea level, 1159 mm, annual precipitation and average La rápida dispersión de A. fulica en áreas tropicales de todo el mundo, y su alto potencial como huésped intermediario de nematodos metastrongiloides, ha llevado a investigaciones sobre su prevalencia parasitaria centrada en los nematodos del género Angiostrongylus, de los cuales la especie A. cantonensis y A. costaricensis han causado cientos de muertes por meningitis eosinofílica, que es endémica de Asia, y angiostrongiliasis abdominal, que es endémica de América, con la presencia de A. fulica asociada en la mayoría de los casos (1,5,8). Recientemente han comenzado a utilizarse herramientas moleculares como anticuerpos, para diagnosticar enfermedades causadas por Angiostrongylus (9), y herramientas morfológicas y moleculares basadas en PCR o alternativamente LAMP se han utilizado para identificar especies de helmintos (10,11).…”

“…In America, this association has been demonstrated in the United States, Cuba, Jamaica, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Costa Rica, Brazil, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Argentina (5,12,13). Despite this, there is a lack of information on the real impact of this invasive mollusk on nematode dynamics, more so when there are no practical and effective diagnostic methods in countries where the snail plague is recent or the epidemiological and clinical impact of the nematodes, especially the genera Angiostrongylus, is unknown, as is the case in Colombia (5,14).Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the presence and prevalence of Strongylida nematodes in Achatina fulica of the Valle del Cauca, Colombia, mainly of those nematodes potentially pathogenic for humans.…”

“…When they are at their first larval stage (L1) they pass through the gastrointestinal tract of the host and are expelled through feces. At this developmental stage the L1 larva uses gastropods as intermediary hosts, inside which it develops until it reaches the third stage (L3) and is ingested to go back to the vertebrate host (4)(5). In other cases, paratenic hosts are also used, where the larva survives but does not develop.…”

“…Cuando están en su primera etapa larvaria (L1) pasan a través del tracto gastrointestinal del huésped y son expulsados a través de las heces. En esta etapa de desarrollo, la larva L1 usa gasterópodos como huéspedes intermediarios, dentro de los cuales se desarrolla hasta que llega a la tercera etapa (L3) y es ingerida nuevamente por el vertebrado hospedero definitivo (4)(5). En otros casos, también usan huéspedes paraténicos, donde la larva sobrevive, pero no se desarrolla.…”

“…The rapid dispersal of A. fulica in tropical areas worldwide, added to its high potential as an intermediary host to Metastrongyloid nematodes has resulted in research on its parasitic prevalence focused on nematodes of the Angiostrongylus genus, of which the species A. cantonensis and A. costaricensis have caused hundreds of deaths through eosinophilic meningitis, which is endemic to Asia, and abdominal angiostrongyliasis, which is endemic to America, with the presence of A. fulica being associated in most cases (1,5,8). Molecular tools have recently begun to be used, such as antibodies, to diagnose diseases caused by Angiostrongylus (9), and morphological and molecular tools based on PCR or alternatively LAMP have been usedin addition to identify helminth species (10,11).…”

Prevalencia de parásitos nematodos Strongylidos asociados al ABSTRACTObjectives. To establish the presence and prevalence of Strongylida nematode parasites in Achatina fulica in the Valle del Cauca, especially of nematodes that are potentially pathogenic for humans. Materials and methods. A. fulica individuals were collected in nine cities of the Valle del Cauca, Colombia. Direct visual examination was used to identify A. fulica parasites. Nematodes were separated from tissue or collected from mucus, washed in saline solution, and fixed in a hot AFA solution. Samples were mounted in glycerine and observed under the microscope. Results. The general nematode parasite prevalence was 35% in 2013. The city with highest prevalence during 2013 was Cartago (60%), following by Buenaventura (42.9%) and Cali (33%), while during 2014 were Cali (30%) and Buenaventura (30%). The Strongylida nematodes registered were classified in three genera: Angiostrongylus (14.7% prevalence), Aelurostrongylus (2.6%),and Strongyluris (2.6%). The city with highest positive records of Angiostrongylus was Cali during 2014 and Aelurostrongylus was Buenaventura during 2013. Strongyluris genus was recorded only in Cali during 2013, with a prevalence of 11%. Of the nine evaluated cities, five has presence of Angiostrongylus. Conclusions. Three genera of Strongylida nematode were recorded associated with A. fulicas specimens in the Valle del Cauca during 2013 and 2014. Therefore, the role that A. fulica and native mollusk species could be playing in the life cycle of these parasites at the local level should not underestimated.

En Ecuador las especies exóticas invasoras (EEI) provocan consecuencias negativas en los aspectos ecológicos, económicos y de seguridad alimentaria. Los agroecosistemas hacen parte de los sectores productivos a nivel mundial, pero son vulnerables a sufrir invasiones biológicas por la constante actividad humana y por el traslado de vegetación, tierra y semillas, por lo que deben ser constantemente monitoreados, pues desempeñan un papel importante en la economía al ser fuente de empleo. El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la influencia potencial de las EEI sobre los agroecosistemas de Ecuador continental a través del modelado del nicho ecológico. Se usó como método de modelación el algoritmo de máxima entropía y se emplearon los registros de presencia de seis especies de plantas y cuatro de insectos en sus regiones nativas y en zonas invadidas a nivel mundial. Los registros provienen de Global Biodiversity Information Facility y de Tropicos. Como variables explicativas se emplearon 19 variables bioclimáticas y seis variables de vegetación. Se obtuvieron los mapas de distribución geográfica potencial, las áreas de superposición de la distribución de las especies y la delimitación de las zonas de mayor riesgo. Se determinó que las condiciones ambientales de las regiones Sierra y Amazónica son idóneas para una posible invasión de seis y siete especies. Además, más del 50 % de la cobertura agropecuaria del país podría ser afectada por las especies Wasmannia rochai, Spondias purpurea L., Lissachatina fulica y Conium maculatum L., siendo los cultivos de ciclo corto los más vulnerables a la invasión por estas especies.

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.
