In this study, we report for the first time <jats:italic>S. wallacei<\/jats:italic> as an intermediate host for <jats:italic>Angiostrongylus cantonensis<\/jats:italic> (Chen, 1935) based on histological and molecular analyses of slugs from Tuamasaga, Samoa, deposited at the Medical Malacological Collection (Fiocruz-CMM). DNA was obtained from the deparafinized tissues scraped from specimen slides. Polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) targeted to the <jats:italic>internal transcribed spacer 2<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>ITS2<\/jats:italic>) region were carried out using the restriction enzyme <jats:italic>Cla<\/jats:italic> I. The RFLP profile observed for our larval specimen of <jats:italic>S. wallacei<\/jats:italic> was identical to the profile previously established for <jats:italic>A. cantonensis<\/jats:italic>, demonstrating that <jats:italic>S. wallacei<\/jats:italic> can be naturally infected with <jats:italic>A. cantonensis<\/jats:italic> and is likely to be an intermediate host for this parasitic nematode species in the field. The potential for geographical range expansion of <jats:italic>S. wallacei<\/jats:italic> in the Pacific Basin, its small size, and the general role of veronicellids as crop pests and hosts of nematodes, indicate the significance of <jats:italic>S. wallacei<\/jats:italic> as an invasive species in the Pacific Basin. Our work also highlights the importance of biological collections for investigating the environmental impact of invasive species on agriculture, public health, and biodiversity conservation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022149x23000809","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,16]],"date-time":"2024-01-16T07:45:42Z","timestamp":1705391142000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Semperula wallacei (Mollusca, Veronicellidae) um hospedeiro natural rec\u00e9m-descoberto de Angiostrongylus cantonensis (Nematoda, Angiostrongylidae) na Bacia do Pac\u00edfico"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"98","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0548-8896","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"C.L.F.","family":"Mendon\u00e7a","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4706-0732","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"R.L.","family":"Caldeira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8047-8968","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"O.S.","family":"Carvalho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6494-309X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S.","family":"D\u2019\u00e1vila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5552-5053","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S.R.","family":"Gomes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022149X23000809_r28","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e200236","DOI":"10.1590\/0074-02760200236","article-title":"Gastropods as intermediate hosts of Angiostrongylus spp. in the Americas: Bioecological characteristics and geographical distribution","volume":"115","author":"Valente","year":"2020","journal-title":"Mem\u00f3rias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz"},{"key":"S0022149X23000809_r12","first-page":"589","article-title":"Diversity and distribution of the Veronicellidae (Gastropoda: Soleolifera) in the Oriental and Australian biogeographical regions","volume":"49","author":"Gomes","year":"2004","journal-title":"Memoirs of the Queensland Museum"},{"key":"S0022149X23000809_r4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"740","DOI":"10.1590\/S0074-02762012000600006","article-title":"Angiostrongylus cantonensis (Nematoda: Metastrongyloidea) in molluscs from harbour areas in Brazil","volume":"107","author":"Carvalho","year":"2012","journal-title":"Mem\u00f3rias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz"},{"key":"S0022149X23000809_r5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"119","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1014529019000","article-title":"Invertebrate invasions on Pacific Islands and the replacement of unique native faunas: A synthesis of the land and freshwater snails","volume":"3","author":"Cowie","year":"2001","journal-title":"Biological Invasions"},{"key":"S0022149X23000809_r23","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.3389\/fsufs.2021.656492","article-title":"Terrestrial slugs in neotropical agroecosystems","volume":"5","author":"Ramos","year":"2021","journal-title":"Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems"},{"key":"S0022149X23000809_r27","first-page":"34","article-title":"Aulas pr\u00e1ticas de Zoologia.
