😱மூளை & முதுகு தண்டுவடத்தை பாதிக்குமா? - உண்மை என்ன? | Giant African Snail problems in Tamilnadu

Giant African Snails — Achatina fulica — may look harmless, but they’ve become one of India’s most damaging invasive species. Originally native to East Africa, these massive snails were introduced to India over a century ago, likely brought by British colonists for ornamental purposes, biological studies, or as exotic pets. However, without natural predators and with India’s humid tropical climate, their population exploded. Today, they infest farms, gardens, and even urban areas — feeding on more than 500 plant species including vegetables, fruits, and ornamental plants. Their rapid breeding rate allows a single pair to produce hundreds of eggs in a year, making infestations nearly impossible to control once established. Beyond agriculture, these snails also pose health risks — they carry the rat lungworm parasite, which can cause meningitis in humans. In this video, we trace how the Giant African Snail first arrived in India, how it spread through trade routes and human movement, the ecological damage it continues to cause, and the scientific and community efforts being made to contain this slimy invasion threatening our biodiversity and food security. நீங்களும் Social Media-ல Success ஆக, எங்களோட 'How to Become Successful in Social Media Course” வாங்க இந்த link ah கிளிக் பண்ணுங்க: https://bit.ly/4elcCLe Follow Streetlight Social Media Handles: Youtube:    / @streetlightscience   Instagram:   / streetlightscience   Facebook:   / streetlightscience   Twitter: https://x.com/StreetLight_Sci Whatsapp Channel: For Brand Collaborations: Phone: 95660 67565 This video is about: ✅ Subscribe To Our Other YouTube Channels: Theneer Idaivelai:    / @theneeridaivelai   Naattu Nadappu:    / @naattunadappu   Skiddy:    / @skiddytamil   Lets Dance:    / @letsdance3608   Welcome to Streetlight!
