	issg Database: Ecology of Achatina fulica
		fulica has been considered the most important snail pest in the tropics and subtropics and perhaps the world.
		fulica is also a vector of Angiostrongylus cantonensis (Nematoda; Protostrongylidae), the roundworm responsible for eosinophilic meningo-encephalitis in humans and the spread of the disease has been correlated with the spread of A.
		fulica are extremely dangerous from the perspective of the conservation of native snail species.

		It is also more rounded, as opposed to the very sharp, pointy shell of A. fulica.
		All my A. fulica are various shades of light brown, with the exception of Herc, who is a kind of dark brown/grey colour!
		Their skin also seems to be a lot thicker than the soft, dainty A. fulica.

		Mascarene Coot Fulica newtoni is known from numerous travelers' reports and bones from Réunion (to France), and also probably occurred on Mauritius from where there were reports of poule d'eau, the contemporary name used for the birds on Réunion.
		Birds were last reported on Réunion (by Dubois) in 1672, and on Mauritius (by Leguat) in 1693, and were presumably hunted to extinction despite the fact that they were “not good to eat”.

		In the 20th century the rate of introduction rose to four species per decade; with the exception of the 1950s when the rate was even higher due to the intentional introduction of biocontrol agents for a pestiferous snail species Achatina fulica.
		fulica and found the largest prey size to be 49 mm in length, while the average size of prey was 10-30 mm in length, mainly juveniles.
		fulica has decreased in numbers as a result of both predation and the introduction of disases (Gerlach 2001).

	A New Glycosaminoglycan from the Giant African Snail Achatina fulica -- Kim et al. 271 (20): 11750 -- Journal of ...
		While the heparins isolated from various mollusks are structurally different from human heparin (6) and pharmaceutical heparins(7, 8), mollusk heparins contain antithrombin-dependent anticoagulant activity associated with the presence of the unique 3-O-sulfated glucosamine residue found in the antithrombin pentasaccharide binding site common to all anticoagulant heparins(5, 8, 9, 10, 11).
		fulica is a very large gastropod that requires substantial quantities of calcium for its shell(37, 47).
		fulica is known to make a bactericidal glycoprotein that is found in its mucus(50), suggesting that snail GAG may have a protective role.
