Angiostrongylus cantonensis is considered the main etiological agent of eosinophilic meningitis in humans. At present, this zoonosis is considered an emerging disease mainly in the Americas. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Achatina fulica infected by Angiostrongylus cantonensis in restinga areas along beaches in the west zone of Rio de Janeiro city, Brazil. The study areas included the following beaches: Barra da Tijuca, Recreio dos Bandeirantes, Reserva, Prainha and Grumari. Ninety specimens of Achatina fulica were collected. Positive molluscs were found only in Barra da Tijuca. Infection prevalence was 5.5%. The presence of this parasite in the beachfront areas, in the west zone of Rio de Janeiro city demonstrates the potential risk of infection for visitors and the expansion of this helminth in the State of Rio de Janeiro.
广州管圆线虫被认为是人类嗜酸性粒细胞性脑膜炎的主要病原体。目前，这种人畜共患病主要在美洲被视为一种新兴疾病。本研究的目的是确定巴西里约热内卢市西区沿海滩的滨海沙质地地区感染广州管圆线虫的非洲大蜗牛的患病率。研究区域包括以下海滩：蒂茹卡巴拉、班代兰特斯休闲区、雷泽瓦、普拉尼亚和格鲁马里。收集了90只非洲大蜗牛标本。仅在蒂茹卡巴拉发现了阳性软体动物。感染率为5.5%。在里约热内卢市西区的海滨地区发现这种寄生虫，表明游客存在感染的潜在风险，以及这种蠕虫在里约热内卢州的扩散。
