Euglandina Obtusa
''Euglandina'' is a genus of predatory medium- to large-sized, air-breathing, land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Spiraxidae.PDF. These snails were previously placed in the family Oleacinidae (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). ''Euglandina'' is the type genus of the subfamily Euglandininae. The pulmonate genus ''Euglandina'' is often referred to as ''Glandina'' in older literature, and the most widely known species, ''Euglandina rosea'', may commonly be found under the synonym ''Glandina truncata''. These snails are especially notable for being carnivorous and predatory. They are sometimes called "wolf snails" for that reason. Distribution The natural range of ''Euglandina'' encompasses much of the tropical and subtropical Western Hemisphere, including the Southeastern United States to Texas, Mexico, and various locations in Central and South America. The species ''E. rosea'' has been intentionally i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Western Hemisphere
The Western Hemisphere is the half of the planet Earth that lies west of the prime meridian (which crosses Greenwich, London, United Kingdom) and east of the antimeridian. The other half is called the Eastern Hemisphere. Politically, the term Western Hemisphere is often used as a metonymy for the Americas, even though geographically the hemisphere also includes parts of other continents. .

Euglandina Aurantiaca
''Pittieria aurantiaca'' is a species of predatory air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Spiraxidae. This species was described based on only one specimen. This specimen was collected by William More Gabb (1839-1878) in Costa Rica, and the species was described under the name ''Euglandina aurantiaca'' by George French Angas in 1879, after Gabb's death. The species was subsequently moved to the genus ''Pittieria'', which was created by Eduard von Martens in 1901. This snail is carnivorous but it also eats honeydew while that substance is being produced by a species of lantern bug. A species of carpenter ant has been observed climbing onto the head of the snail in order to steal some of the honeydew while the snail is feeding in this way. Distribution The type locality of ''Pittieria aurantiaca'' was described as "from the hilly country", in Costa Rica. It is now known to occur in the following countries and areas: * Costa Ric ...

Quarantine
A quarantine is a restriction on the movement of people, animals and goods which is intended to prevent the spread of disease or pests. It is often used in connection to disease and illness, preventing the movement of those who may have been exposed to a communicable disease, yet do not have a confirmed medical diagnosis. It is distinct from medical isolation, in which those confirmed to be infected with a communicable disease are isolated from the healthy population. Quarantine considerations are often one aspect of border control. The concept of quarantine has been known since biblical times, and is known to have been practised through history in various places. Notable quarantines in modern history include the village of Eyam in 1665 during the bubonic plague outbreak in England; East Samoa during the 1918 flu pandemic; the Diphtheria outbreak during the 1925 serum run to Nome, the 1972 Yugoslav smallpox outbreak, the SARS pandemic, the Ebola pandemic and extensive ...
