“…In the present day, P. macrophallus and P. microscopicus are unique endohelminths of Cichla spp., having never been found in other fish species in Brazil (REGO, 1994;MACHADO et al, 2000;THATCHER, 2006;AZEVEDO et al, 2010;KOHN et al, 2011;FRANCESCHINI et al, 2013;LACERDA et al, 2013a;YAMADA;TAKEMOTO, 2013). According Guégan and Kennedy (1993), the fauna of the parasites of a species of fish is influenced from the time it is introduced into a new habitat.…”

A total of 112 specimens of yellow peacock bass, Cichla kelberi, were collected in the Três Marias Reservoir, upper São Francisco River, State of Minas Gerais, between 2004 and2005. Twelve species of parasites were collected: two species of ectoparasites (the monogenetic Gussevia sp. and the copepod Ergasilus sp.); and ten species of endoparasites, including four species of adult endoparasites: the cestodes Proteocephalus macrophallus and P. microscopicus, and the nematodes: Capillostrongyloides sentinosa and Rhabdochona acuminata, and six species of larval endoparasites: the metacercariae of Austrodiplostomum compactum and the nematodes: Hysterothylacium sp., Contracaecum sp. , Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) inopinatus, Spiroxys sp., and Goezia sp.. A significant positive correlation in the abundance of the two adult endoparasites species, P. macrophallus and P. microscopicus, may indicate that such associated species had the same ecological requirements. The positive correlations between the prevalence of the larval endoparasites, Hysterothylacium sp. and A. compactum, may indicate that there was opportunism for the two generalists species. Ergasilus sp., C. sentinosa, R. acuminata and Hysterothylacium sp. were recorded for the first time in C. kelberi, and this increased their list of known hosts. In addition, both proteocephalid species and C. sentinosa can extend their known biogeographical distribution to the Três Marias Reservoir.Keywords: Helminths, larval anisakid nematodes, fish parasites. ResumoCento e doze espécimes de Cichla kelberi foram coletados no Reservatório de Três Marias, Alto São Francisco, Três Marias, MG, entre 2004 e 2005. Foram coletadas doze espécies de parasitos matazoários, sendo duas espécies de ectoparasitos: os monogenéticos Gussevia sp. e os copépodos Ergasilus sp.; e dez espécies de endoparasitos, sendo quatro espécies de endoparasitos adultos: os cestoides Proteocephalus macrophallus e P. microscopicus e os nematoides: Capillostrongyloides sentinosa e Rhabdochona acuminata, além de seis espécies de endoparasitos larvais: metacercárias de Austrodiplostomum compactum e os nematoides: Hysterothylacium sp., Contracaecum sp. Tipo 1 , Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) inopinatus, Spiroxys sp. e Goezia sp.. As associações positivas significativas observadas para os endoparasitos adultos P. macrophallus e P. microscopicus com correlação positiva entre suas abundâncias podem indicar que essas espécies tenham os mesmos requerimentos ecológicos; e para as espécies de endoparasitos larvais Hysterothylacium sp. e A. compactum, com correlações positivas entre suas prevalências podem indicar que houve oportunismo para ambas as espécies. Ergasilus sp., C. sentinosa, R. acuminata e Hysterothylacium sp. são registrados pela primeira vez em C. kelberi, ampliando assim a listagem de hospedeiros. Portanto, o Reservatório de Três Marias constitui nova localidade para ambas as espécies de proteocefalídeos e para C. sentinosa, ampliando assim a distribuição geográfica.Palavras-chave: Helmintos,...

“…was found in the pimelodid Sorubim lima, which is a new record for that host. Nematodes of the genus Cucullanus also seem to have low parasitic specificity, and have been reported from other hosts from other localities (Azevedo, Abdallah, & Luque, 2011;Kohn et al, 2011;Yamada & Takemoto, 2013). According to Giese, Furtado, Lanfredi, & Santos (2010), 16 species of Cucullanus have been described from Brazil.…”

This study aimed to describe the diversity of fish parasites in the Amambai River, in the Mato Grosso do Sul State, and generate information to facilitate studies of the biotic integrity of the region. During the period of September 2015 and July 2015, 48 specimens of 11 species of fish were analyzed for parasites. A total of 56.25% of the fish sampled from the Amambai River were infected with one or more metazoan species. A total of 21,514 parasite specimens belonging to 24 different species we found; they were distributed among six groups: Acanthocephala (Neoechinorhynchida), Cestoda (Proteocephalidea), Crustacea (Ergasilidae), Digenea (Cladorchiidae, Dadaytrema), Monogenea (Dactylogyridae) and Nematoda (Atractidae, Cucullanidae, Camallanidae, Rhabdochonidae). Of these, a monogenean, Mymarothecium sp. and four nematodes-Cucullanus sp.; Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) inopinatus Travassos, Artigas, and Pereira, 1928; Rabdochona acuminate (Molin, 1860); and Rondonia rondoni Travassos, 1920-were recorded for the first time on new hosts. This is the first work to gather information about the parasite fauna of fish from Amambai River in the Mato Grosso do Sul State, and provides records that contribute new reports of the occurrence of parasites in new locations.

“…In 10 host fish species from the Jari River basin 5 branchiurans, 2 Isopods and 1 undetermined copepods species were found in two host species of the Tapajós River basin in the state of Pará, while A. multicolor infested 58.3 % of the host fish species due to its low parasitic specificity. Argulus multicolor is widely distributed as it infects different fish species from the central Amazon (Malta 1984), Pantanal (Fontana et al 2012) and Paraná River basins (Yamada and Takemoto 2013). However, this is the first recording of A. multicolor for L. friderici, L. fasciatus, L. trifasciatus, S. jurupari, H. malabaricus, C. ocellaris and C. jariina.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate parasites crustacean fauna in ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, and of the State Amapá and Pará, in northern Brazil. A total of 242 parasites, including ,, ,, ,, , and undetermined Lernaeidae, were collected from these hosts. The species had the greatest richness among the community of parasitic crustaceans. There was a low abundance of parasites among the hosts, other than, was most abundant in the integument of and. Finally, the present study reported nine new hosts for the crustacean parasite species and expanded knowledge of the occurrence of some parasite species in the Jari River basin, in eastern Amazon.
