- Giant african snail, Achatina fulica (Férussac, 1821): an environmental and public health problem in the northwestern of Paraná State, Brazil Márcia Aparecida Andreazzi Francielli Gasparotto Ednéia Aparecida de Souza Paccola Cleiltan Novais da Silva Aparecida de Fátima Cracco Rodrigues Maria de los Angeles Perez Lizama Biología Mollusk environment social study introduced species Achatina fulica , known as Giant African Snail (GAS), was introduced in Brazil as a substitute for the European escargot, Helix aspersa maxima . However, its cultivation was abandoned and the mollusk became an invasive species, found throughout Brazil and causing damage to health and the environment. In this context, this study analy zed the knowledge of the population about the damage caused by GAS, seeking to reveal a regional scenario on this issue. This exploratory and cross-sectional study was conducted by means of a questionnaire applie d to 150 people, which obtained soci odemographic characteristics of respondents and specific responses about the knowledge and handling of GAS. The results showed that most of the respondents know the snail and are concer ned about the transmission of diseases and losses in agricultural crops, but few recognize this pest as the basis of environmen tal imbalance. It is suggested to implement actions seeking the dissemination of such knowledge and the awareness of the population about the impact of this mollusk on the environment. 2017 artículo científico 1679-9283 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=187152898004 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1871/187152898004/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1871/187152898004/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1871/187152898004/187152898004.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1871/187152898004/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1871 Acta Scientiarum.
