Examples of sampling sites for definitive, intermediate, and paratenic hosts used in a predictive approach to mapping Angiostrongylus cantonensis nematode distribution, Canary Islands, Spain. Hosts were collected and sampled in 2022 on Tenerife. A, B) Xeric vegetation types, including bare volcanic rocks with scattered succulents (A) and sparse xerophytic bushland (B). C, D) Bush vegetation, including continuous bush without tree cover (C) and continuous bush interspersed with isolated trees (D). E, F) Laurel forest in Anaga, Tenerife.
