[Sarasinula marginata (Semper, 1885) (Mollusca, Soleolifera) from Belo Horizonte (MG, Brasil) as a potential intermediate host of Angiostrongylus costaricensis Morera, Cespedes, 1971].
Specimens of Sarasinula marginata were collected in kitchen and house gardens of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. The susceptibility of these molluscs for Angiostrongylus costaricensis was tested by infecting 15 laboratory--reared slugs (F1). The positivity demonstrated was of 80.0%.
