That should also be fixed on the status effects page. It is actually the same thing. We checked the japanese characters and found that it is the same Ailment, only different in Icon and slightly different perhaps on mechanics.

It may have been mistakenly named as Slimeblight in MH3U without the thought of its future changes in MH4. If ever MH4 hits western shores (which is 0% confirmed) I would expect a name change on the ailment.
