Angiostrongylus cantonensis, also known as the rat lungworm, is usually found in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands, but a new study has found the parasite in Atlanta.
A parasitic brain worm spread by rats and snails has been confirmed in Georgia, according to the findings of a recent study.
After collecting tissue samples from wild brown rats found dead in Atlanta, researchers say they found more than 20% of the animals had nematodes in their heart, pulmonary artery, or brain tissues. The researchers say they believe the parasite has spread and “become established” in parts of the southeastern United States.
Symptoms can include headaches, still neck, tingling, fevers, vomiting, or painful feelings in the skin.
