In recent decades, there has been significant worldwide interest in the emergence of a new invasive species known as . This is due to its dangerous habits for the environment, its biological characteristics and the fact that it is the intermediate host of several nematode parasites, such as . This land snail species is native to tropical African countries, but has been introduced, accidentally or deliberately, to other parts of the world to be used for different purposes and is now established in a large part of the tropics. Since the 1980s, hundreds of researchers have been interested in the beneficial properties of its mucus, ranging from the antimicrobial and anticancer properties to the use of its powdered shell as a biocatalyst. This literature review aims to objectively describe the positive and negative aspects associated with the spread of , highlighting in particular the opportunities for the local populations deriving from a conscious exploitation of this mollusc.
近几十年来，一种名为 的新入侵物种在全球范围内引发了广泛关注。这是因为它对环境具有危险习性、具有特定生物学特征，且是几种线虫寄生虫（如 ）的中间宿主。这种陆地蜗牛原产于热带非洲国家，但已被有意或无意地引入世界其他地区用于不同目的，目前在热带地区大部分地方都已扎根。自20世纪80年代以来，数百名研究人员对其黏液的有益特性产生了兴趣，这些特性涵盖抗菌和抗癌特性，以及将其粉状外壳用作生物催化剂。这篇文献综述旨在客观描述与 的传播相关的积极和消极方面，特别强调通过有意识地利用这种软体动物为当地居民带来的机遇。
