“…Similares parásitos son descritos como la fauna ectoparasitaria presente en alevinos de paiche, Arapaima gigas, cultivados en ambientes controlados de la Amazonía Peruana (Mathews et al, 2007). En cuanto a su susceptibilidad la Trichodina sp suele presentarse en peces mayores de 30 días de edad (Serrano-Martínez et al, 2016), mientras que su prevalencia es de 82,5% (Mathews et al, 2007). Los ciliados de la familia Trichodinidae son parásitos protozoarios de importancia para la piscicultura en América del Sur, dado que, a altos niveles de infestación, causan una mortalidad significativa entre peces cultivados.…”

ResumenEl objetivo de este estudio fue identificar parasitosis en paiches juveniles "Arapaima gigas", criados en cautiverio en el instituto de Investigaciones de la Amazonia Peruana (IIAP-Ucayali) Perú. En una población de 190 juveniles se tomó una muestra al azar de 50 ejemplares de 2,5 años de edad. La técnica de evaluación fue visual-directa y microscópica. AbstractThe aim of this research was to identify parasitosis in juvenile paiches "Arapaima gigas", raised in captivity at the Peruvian Amazon Research Institute (IIAP-Ucayali), Peru. In a population of 190 juveniles, a random sample of 50 individuals of 2.5 years of age was taken. The evaluation technique was visual-direct and microscopic. 5 ectoparasites were identified: Trichodina sp.

Monogeneans are flatworm parasites that infest fish gills primarily but can also infect various other vertebrates, including amphibians, aquatic reptiles, mammals like hippos, and occasionally invertebrates like copepods, isopods, and cephalopods. Despite their remarkable diversity, our knowledge of monogenean parasites in Peru remains significantly limited, resulting in substantial gaps in our comprehension of their taxonomic identities, host associations, and geographic distribution. To address these knowledge deficits, we present an extensively curated checklist of monogeneans associated with aquatic vertebrates in Peru. This comprehensive compilation is derived from meticulous literature surveys, the examination of specimens deposited in both international and national collections, and the inclusion of additional freshly collected specimens. The checklist offers a thorough repository of data encompassing the diversity, host associations, and geographical distribution of these parasites. Taxonomic discrepancies are addressed through a critical review of the existing literature, supplemented by the direct examination of specimens, including type or voucher specimens, deposited within scientific collections. Additionally, we provide data on the DNA sequences of individual taxa. The compiled list comprises records of 358 monogenean species, including 270 valid species and 88 taxa identified at the family or generic level, all reported across 145 host species in Peru. Predominantly, these parasitic species exhibit associations within fish, with 335 infecting teleosts and 20 affecting chondrichthyans. Three monogenean species have been documented as infecting amphibians, namely Mesopolystoma samiriensis, Polistoma sp. and Wetapolystoma almae. Among the monogeneans reported, 141 were found in marine environments and 214 in freshwater environments. The most diverse families were Dactylogyridae and Diplectanidae, comprising 217 and 24 species, respectively. The hosts that harbored the highest number of monogeneans were Pygocentrus nattereri (with 23 species), followed by Stellifer minor (13 spp.) and Triportheus angulatus (11 spp.). We detected many species that do not have any material deposited in a scientific collection due to the loss or deactivation of the collection. These findings represent only a fraction of the potential diversity, considering the wide variety of aquatic vertebrate hosts inhabiting the tropical and subtropical regions of Peru.
