Florida residents are being warned to be on the lookout for one
of the world's most destructive invasive species: the giant African land
snail, which can grow as big as a rat.The huge mollusks were
first spotted in Florida in 2011, and their numbers are growing, Reuters
reports. More than 1,000 are being caught each week in Miami-Dade County
and more will continue to emerge from hibernation in the coming weeks.The
snails can gnaw through stucco and plastic, and attack "over 500 known
species of plants ... pretty much anything that's in their path and
green," Denise Feiber, a spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Agriculture
and Consumer Services, told Reuters.In some Caribbean countries, such as
Barbados, which are overrun with the creatures, the snails' shells blow
out tires on the highway and turn into hurling projectiles from lawnmower
blades, while their slime and excrement coat walls and pavement."It becomes
a slick mess," Feiber saidA typical snail can produce about 1,200 eggs
a year and the creatures are a particular pest in homes because
of their fondness for stucco, devoured for the calcium content they need
for their shells.The snails also carry a parasitic rat lungworm that can
cause illness in humans, including a form of meningitis, Feiber said, although
no such cases have yet been
LONDON British police are reviewing security plans for Sunday's London
Marathon, the next major international marathon, because of the bombs that
killed two people at the race in Boston. But there is no
known specific or credible threat against the British race at the moment,
a security official said.The London Marathon is a hugely popular race. Last
year, some 37,500 athletes competed, with many more watching the springtime
event.London has long been considered a top target for international terrorists,
with the government saying the threat level is "substantial." In 2005, a
series of suicide attacks on the public transport system in the British
capital killed 52 people.London and mainland Britain also face a moderate
threat from Northern Ireland-related terrorism, according to the government.Two
bombs exploded near the finish of the Boston Marathon on Monday, killing
two people, and injuring at least 22 others, race organizers and police
said. The situation sparked alarm bells in Britain, where a massive security
operation was put in place last summer to protect the successful London
Olympics.Chief Superintendent Julia Pendry, police commander for the London
race, said Monday that "a security plan is in place for the
London Marathon. We will be reviewing security arrangements in partnership
with (the) London Marathon."A police spokesman who spoke on condition of
anonymity because he was not authorized to go on the record said
