Giant African snails threaten US agriculture and spread
An Atlantic Monthly report by Mead cites zoologist Alpert KR Read warning that giant African snails, up to inches long and weighing a pound, could damage agriculture nationwide. The invaders, spread via war surplus equipment, may reach the Gulf and Southeast, with eggs laid in large batches and rapid population growth. Originating on Africa’s east coast, they have moved through Mauritius, India, China, and Pacific islands, aided by postwar shipments. California inspectors are trying to disinfect salvaged gear, but many infested consignments may still enter Atlantic ports.
