Rat lungworm has a ground zero, Puna.

Your information does not address the question as to whether organic farming is more susceptible to contamination

From your link:
But Diez-Gonzalez cautioned that his study does not show organic produce to be a higher risk food choice. (or more susceptible to contamination)

You are implying that the extensive use of commercial pesticides, herbicides and fertilizer offers no advantage here.

From your link:
Based on the epidemiological evidence, we can say that both organic and conventional vegetables would pose the same [food borne pathogen] risk for consumers (or one offers no advantage over the other)

If you read the article at your link, the incidence of e. coli cited is traced to the use of cow manure as a fertilizer, not because conventional chemical applications reduce e. coli in the environment. Unless rat lungworm is discovered in cow manure, there is nothing in the article that would indicate a link between rat lungworm and organic food. Nothing.

I agree with you, reality is demonstrated science.
