“…The difficulty of distinguishing A. malaysiensis from A. cantonensis may mean that both can cause neuroangiostrongyliasis, perhaps with different clinical presentations, or the attribution of neuroangiostrongyliasis cases to A. malaysiensis is incorrect, based on misidentification of the parasites. Nonetheless, co-infection with the two species in patients in Thailand after eating raw snails, a few of which were also co-infected, has been reported [ 156 ]. Further research on the potential for A. malaysiensis to cause neuroangiostrongyliasis is warranted.…”

The classification of “parasites” in the medical field is a challenging notion, a group which historically has included all eukaryotes exclusive of fungi that invade and derive resources from the human host. Since antiquity, humans have been identifying and documenting parasitic infections, and this collective catalog of parasitic agents has expanded considerably with technology. As our understanding of species boundaries and the use of molecular tools has evolved, so has our concept of the taxonomy of human parasites. Consequently, new species have been recognized while others have been relegated to synonyms. On the other hand, the decline of expertise in classical parasitology and limited curricula have led to a loss of awareness of many rarely encountered species. Here, we provide a comprehensive checklist of all reported eukaryotic organisms (excluding fungi and allied taxa) parasitizing humans resulting in 274 genus-group taxa and 848 species-group taxa. For each species, or genus where indicated, a concise summary of geographic distribution, natural hosts, route of transmission and site within human host, and vectored pathogens are presented. Ubiquitous, human-adapted species as well as very rare, incidental zoonotic organisms are discussed in this annotated checklist. We also provide a list of 79 excluded genera and species that have been previously reported as human parasites but are not believed to be true human parasites or represent misidentifications or taxonomic changes.

“…In addition, it has been also recorded as an intermediate host of Aelurostrongylus abstrusus (Railliet, 1898), a lungworm that causes bronchopneumonia in wild and domestic cats (Cardillo et al 2014(Cardillo et al , 2018Valente et al 2017), and as a paratenic host of Toxocara cati (Schrank, 1788), a common intestinal worm of felids causing toxocariasis, in which humans can act as accidental hosts (Cardillo et al 2016). Also, R. decollata has been recorded as an intermediate host of Angiostrongylus malaysiensis Bhaibulaya & Cross, 1971, a nematode parasite of various rat species, and a potential zoonotic pathogen of human angiostrongyliasis Makiya 1994, 1995;Yong et al 2016;Watthanakulpanich et al 2021).…”

The decollate land snail Rumina decollata (Linnaeus, 1758), native to the Mediterranean region, has been introduced across several countries worldwide. We report here three new records for R. decollata in Argentina, two from Córdoba Province and the first one from Misiones Province, which also constitutes the northernmost record for the country, extending its northeastern distribution range. Species-specific identification was achieved based on anatomical, conchological, and molecular information. DNA data showed that different haplotypes are present in Argentina, which originated from distinct source areas along the native range.
