Anisakidae Skrjabin & Karokhin, 1945 and Raphidascarididae Hartwich, 1954 nematodes in lutjanidae (pisces: perciformes) from the Brazilian Northeast Coast

Abstract: Abstract The present study aimed at describing and evaluating the fauna of Anisakidae and Raphidacarididae nematodes of lutjanid fish (snappers) from the Brazilian northeastern coast unloaded at the city of Aracaju, capital of the State of Sergipe. A total of 186 lutjanids of 5 different species were analyzed including 69 Lutjanus analis, 51 L. vivanus , 29 Ocyurus chrysurus, 23 L. synagris, and 14 L. jocu. Nematode specimens found in the viscera of these fish were clarified with lactophenol. Illustra… Show more

“…The superfamily Ascaridoidea Baird, 1853 includes two important families, Anisakidae and Raphidascarididae, which are composed of nematodes that complete their life cycles using intermediate or paratenic hosts in the aquatic environment (Anderson, 1992;Alves et al, 2020). Although some authors consider that the genus Hysterothylacium is included in the family Anisakidae Skrjabin & Karokhin, 1945, we agree with Li et al (2018), who transferred this genus to the family Raphidascarididae Hartwich, 1954.…”

“…Additionally, fishes play an additional role as paratenic hosts, contributing to the dissemination and amplification of infection until the parasite reaches a definitive host, such as piscivorous birds and mammals, in which they reach the adult form (Bicudo et al, 2005;Saad et al, 2012). Recent studies on the northeastern coast of Brazil show a high presence of anisakid nematodes, including larvae of the Contracaecum genus, although they have shown lower prevalence compared to other taxa of Anisakiidae (see Alves et al, 2020;dos Santos Ferreira et al, 2020).…”

“…Nematode species account for 21% of the parasite-host associations registered in the continental and marine fish fauna of South Latin America (Luque, Pereira, Alves, Oliva, & Timi, 2016). Fish can be intermediate, definitive or paratenic hosts in the life cycle of nematodes (Alves et al, 2019). Raphidascaris (Sprentascaris) species are nematodes that require fish and aquatic crustaceans as intermediate hosts (Zago et al, 2013).…”
