“…Monogeneans (six species) were recorded only in marine and brackish water fish species. Cestodes (three species), nematodes (six species), and acanthocephalans (four species) were less abundant, which for the acanthocephalans is probably due to their being very rare in freshwater fish in Mexico (Salgado-Maldonado et al 1992, 2004a. Nonetheless, the presence of as many as four acanthocephalan and three cestode species from a single location is notable.…”

A checklist of metazoan parasites of fish from Tres Palos Lagoon, Guerrero, Mexico

An extensive survey of helminth parasites in fish species from Tres Palos Lagoon, in Guerrero, Mexico, resulted in identification of 39 metazoan parasite species (37 helminth and 2 crustaceans) in 13 fish species (n = 1,498). Specimen collection in this coastal lagoon was done between April 2000 and November 2003. Digenean species (18, 8 adult and 10 metacercariae) dominated the parasite fauna. The most widespread species of parasite were: Contracaecum sp. (Nematoda), Pseudoacanthostomum panamense, Austrodiplostomum compactum, Ascocotye (Phagicola) longa (Digenea), Neoechinorhynchus golvani (Acanthocephala), Ergasilus sp. (Copepoda), and Argulus sp. (Branchiura). Parasite fauna species composition exhibited a clear freshwater influence as 56.4% (22 of 39) of the identified species have a freshwater distribution in Mexico. For 32 of the parasite species, this report constitutes the first geographical host record for Tres Palos Lagoon, Guerrero, Mexico.

Atactorhynchus duranguensis n. sp. (Acanthocephala: Atactorhynchinae) is described from the intestine of Cyprinodon meeki Miller, an endemic freshwater fish from a far-inland locality of Mexico. Diagnostic features include: body small, stout, ventrally curved; small cylindrical proboscis armed with 16 alternating vertical rows of four or five hooks; anterior two or three hooks conspicuous, stout and larger than other hooks, and have large, rod-shaped roots with a markedly and abruptly enlarged base; three posterior hooks of each row are smaller and rootless; single-walled proboscis receptacle; lemnisci equal in length, elongate and robust; and cement gland syncytial, larger than testis. The new species is smaller than A. verecundus Chandler, 1935, the only previously described species in the genus. The shape of the proboscis of the new species is strikingly different from that of A. verecundus, which is widest at the apex. Likewise, the greatest width of the trunk of the new species is in about the middle, differing from that of A. verecundus where the trunk is widest posteriorly. The new species also can be distinguished from A. verecundus because of its much smaller hook lengths and slightly smaller proboscis. In addition, the proportion of large apical proboscis hooks in relation to the small basal hooks is different: the basal hooks of A. verecundus are about half the size of the anterior hooks and but only about a quarter of the size in A. duranguensis. Unlike A. verecundus, the base of the roots are markedly and abruptly enlarged in the new species. Finally, the eggs of the new species are smaller (23-27 x 8-10 microm) than those of A. verecundus (27-30 x 12-13 microm).

“…Studies of the parasites of the fish in the Papaloapan basin began in 1954 and are largely taxonomic treatments concentrating mostly on fish in the Los Tuxtlas area and particularly Catemaco Lake, Veracruz (Caballero and Winter 1954;Lamothe-Argumedo 1974Lamothe-Argumedo and Ponciano-Rodrı´guez 1986;Caballero-Deloya 1977;Salgado-Maldonado 1978;Salgado-Maldonado et al 1992, 1998Garcı´a-Prieto 1990;Garcı´a-Prieto et al 1996;Pe´rez et al 1992;Jime´nez-Garcı´a 1993;Moravec 1998;Moravec et al 1998Moravec et al , 2000Moravec et al , 2002aCaspeta-Mandujano et al 1999Salgado-Maldonado 2000, 2001;Scholz et al 2001b;Pa´ez-Rodrı´guez et al 2002;Aguilar-Aguilar et al 2003a;Mendoza-Franco et al 2003b). More recent studies addressing the role of freshwater fishes as transmitters of the human gnathostomiasis have been done in the Temascal Reservoir, Oaxaca (Almeyda-Artigas 1991; Almeyda-Artigas et al 1995;Lamothe-Argumedo 1977;Lamothe-Argumedo et al 1989).…”

Helminth parasites in freshwater fish from the Papaloapan river basin, Mexico

et al. 2005

A checklist based on previously published records and original data is presented for the helminth parasites reported in 35 fish species from nine families from the Rio Papaloapan basin, east Mexico. The checklist contains 85 taxa from 39 helminth families. Trematodes and nematodes were the most abundant taxonomic groups. The helminth fauna in the fish of the Papaloapan River basin predominantly consists of Neotropical species that are largely autogenic. The introduced species Centrocestus formosanus was the most widely distributed helminth, infecting 16 host species. Ten of the recorded helminth species have only been found in fish from the Papaloapan. This inventory contributes 157 new host records, and reports the presence of 30 helminth species in the Papaloapan for the first time . This inventory shows the richness of helminth parasite species in the fish of the Papaloapan River basin in comparison with the other hydrological basins in Mexico. It also demonstrates that this fauna is typically Neotropical and quite similar to that from the neighboring basins of the Grijalva-Usumacinta system and the Yucatan Peninsula. The data also suggest highly effective transmission between environments within the same basin and that the regional parasite fauna is strongly influenced by fish community composition.
