A new study published by the CDC found this parasite becoming more widespread in areas it hadn't been seen before.
A parasite that is typically found on rats and slugs but can jump to mammals is becoming more widespread in the southeastern U.S., raising concerns about an increased risk to humans.
Although the study is small, the impact of its findings could be significant. Until now, the few recorded cases of a rat lungworm infection that have turned up in this region before have been mostly sporadic. It then continues through the food chain. Animals that eat the infected gastropods, such as frogs, shrimp and freshwater crabs, get infected. Then the infection spreads to other animals or humans who eat those infected species.
