[Regnum] An international team of scientists from the United States, France, Australia, and Poland have discovered a new species of invasive flatworms that is spreading in the southern regions of the United States. The corresponding study was published in the scientific journal PeerJ.

The new species of alien worms, named Amaga pseudobama, was first discovered in North Carolina in 2020.

The worm resembles the invasive Obama nungara, which has spread widely across Europe. The name comes from an indigenous language in Brazil and means "leaf-like animal." The new species is a brown flatworm that averages several centimeters in length.

To identify the creature, specialists conducted a molecular study. During the analysis, it was discovered that the new species of worm differs significantly from Obama nungara at the genetic level.

It has been found not only in North Carolina, but also in Florida and Georgia. Scientists believe that the worm may spread to other southern US states.

Earlier, environmentalists warned of a catastrophe amid the invasion of alien worms in the United States. An analysis by experts showed that at least 70 species of worms live on the North American continent, posing a threat to local ecosystems.
