The African Giant Land Snail (Lissachantina fulica) is native to East Africa, but is an invasive species in many parts of the world, where it has been introduced by humans either as a possible food source, for the pet trade, or just by accident. In these areas it is considered a pest of agriculture and households.
African Giant Land Snails often carry parasitic worms (Angiostrongylus cantinensis), which can cause a very serious form of meningitis.
They are hermaphrodites, which means they have both male and female reproductive organs. But they need a partner to reproduce by cross fertilisation.
