A parasitic worm that jumps from mice to snails to the human brain has invaded the US, researchers warn.
Rat lungworm was observed in one-fifth of the rats at an Atlanta zoo between 2019 and 2022.
The insect can cause severe stomach and nerve problems in humans, including nausea, vomiting, neck stiffness and headaches.
The rat lungworm normally lives in the blood vessels around a rat's lungs, where it lays eggs.
Larvae from lungs, coughed up by rat, then swallowed by snails or slugs.
People can become infected accidentally if they eat uncooked snails or shellfish that carry the worms.
