“…In contrast, the translated amino acid sequence of the COI was identical to a published sequence of C. obtuscens . This species is widely distributed along North and South America with a broad range of definitive hosts ( Lincicome, 1943 , Tantaleán et al, 2005 ). Moreover, terrestrial animals like the Andean fox, Pseudalopex culpaeus (Molina, 1782), are described as hosts ( Tantaleán et al, 2007 ).…”

Harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) and grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) are final hosts of acanthocephalans in the German North and Baltic Seas. Parasitic infections in seals can cause pathological changes, which may result in deteriorated health of the host. Common gastrointestinal parasites of harbour and grey seals are acanthocephalans and a number of 275 of 2460 (11.2%) investigated seals from 1996 to 2013 were infected with Corynosoma spp. (Acanthocephala, Polymorphidae). The prevalence showed a wave-like pattern: it increased from 1.2% and 0.4% in 1996 and 1997, respectively, to 23.9% during the second phocine distemper epizootic in 2002 and decreased to 6.2% in 2004. In 2005, prevalence peaked again with 25.0% followed by a decrease to 9.3% in 2009 and an increase to 38.5% in 2012. Statistical analysis revealed that harbour seals originating from the North Sea showed a higher prevalence than grey seals, whereas no significant difference between grey and harbour seals from the Baltic Sea was observed. Furthermore, juvenile pinnipedia from the North Sea were significantly less infected with Corynosoma spp. than seals older than seven month. Molecular species identification as well as phylogenetic relationship analysis among the detected Corynosoma species were achieved by sequencing and comparisons of the ribosomal ITS1-5.8S-ITS2-complex and cytochrome-c-oxidase I gene. Molecular analysis resulted in a newly arranged distribution of Acanthocephala in the North Sea as in contrast to previous studies, C. strumosum could not be confirmed as predominant species. Instead, C. magdaleni and a C. magdaleni isolate (isolate Pv1NS) with an atypical number of longitudinal rows of hooks at the proboscis were detected. Furthermore, morphological and molecular analyses indicate the possible finding of a cryptic species (Candidatus Corynosoma nortmeri sp. nov.).

“…Intermediate hosts for C. obtuscens are unknown. Several species of fi shes (paratenic hosts) off the Pacifi c coast of South America were found to be infected with cystacanths of C. obtuscens with prevalence up to 60 % (Tantaleán & Huiza, 1994;Tantaleán et al, 2005;Chero et al, 2014).…”

To increase the currently limited knowledge addressing acanthocephalans parasitizing California sea lions (Zalophus californianus), 33 animals including pups, juvenile and adult males and females from the Marine Mammal Center (TMMC), Sausalito, California, USA were examined. Totally, 2,268 specimens of acanthocephalans representing five species from the genera Andracantha (A. phalacrocoracis and Andracantha sp.), Corynosoma (C. strumosum and C. obtuscens) and Profilicollis (P. altmani) were found. Profilicollis altmani and A. phalacrocoracis, predominantly parasitize fish-eating birds; they were registered in Z. californianus for the first time. Prevalence and intensity of California sea lion infection and transmission of acanthocephalans in these hosts of different age groups were analyzed and discussed. We provide brief morphological descriptions of the five species of acanthocephalan found in California sea lions.

“…Su dieta está compuesta principalmente por escarabajos acuáticos, chinches, larvas de insectos voladores, y en menos frecuencia caracoles y pequeños crustáceos (Hinojos & Canaris 1998). Muchos de estos invertebrados pueden ser hospederos intermediaros y/o paraténicos para formas larvarias de acantocéfalos (Tantaleán et al 2005); convirtiendo a H. mexicanus un posible hospedero definitivo.…”

“…En Perú se han registrado dos (2) especies de acantocéfalos de la familia Pholymorphidae en aves acuáticas: Profilicollis altmani (Perry 1942), el cual tiene como hospedero intermediario al muy muy (Emerita análoga) (Stimpson 1857) (Goulding & Cohen 2014, Rodríguez et al 2016) y como hospederos definitivos a las siguientes especies de gaviotas: Larus belcheri (Vigors 1829), Leucophaeus pipixcan (Wagler 1831) y L. modestus (Tschudi 1843) (Tantaleán et al 2005, Hartwitch 1954, Gonzáles-Viera et al 2009); Polymorphus spindlatus, cuyo único hospedero definitivo reportado en Perú es una garza Huaco (Nycticorax nycticorax) (Linnaeus 1758) (Amin & Heckmann 1991).…”
