Prevalência e intensidade de infecção de cestóides Trypanorhyncha de elasmobrânquios nos estados do Paraná e Santa Catarina, Brasil

Taxonomic reports of Homeacanthoidea (Eucestoda: Trypanorhyncha) in Lamnid and Sphyrnid elasmobranchs collected off the coast of Santa Catarina, Brazil

“…Recently, several taxonomic and parasitological indices on elasmobranch parasites of Brazil have been published on nematodes (Knoff et al, 2001a), on digeneans and acanthocephalans (Knoff et al, 2001b), on prevalences and intensities of infections of trypanorhynch cestodes (Knoff et al, 2002), and on otobothrioid trypanorhynch cestodes (Knoff et al, 2004). The present paper continues this study and relates to Homeacanthoidea (Eucestoda, Trypanorhyncha) recovered from Lamnidae and Sphyrnidae.…”

Eutetrarhynchid trypanorhynchs (Cestoda) from elasmobranchs off Argentina, including the description of Dollfusiella taminii sp. n. and Parachristianella damiani sp. n., and amended description of Dollfusiella vooremi (São Clemente et Gomes, 1989)

“…However, no eutetrarhynchids have yet been reported from these hosts in the southwestern Atlantic. Instead, they have been reported as hosts for tentaculariids and lacistorhynchids off Brazil (São Clemente and Gomes 1989b, Knoff et al 2002, Gomes et al 2005.…”

Case Report – Heteronybelinia spp. in Pomatomus saltatrix (Linnaeus, 1766)

“…[3]. It has worldwide distribution [4] and parasitizes both marine fish and invertebrates [5][6], specially from tropical and subtropical regions [4]. Nowadays, there are reports of this cestode in 60 fish species from Brazil [3].…”

“…Although, metacestodes are find in teleosts, elasmobranchs, and marine invertebrates, acting as intermediate hosts. In this stage, the parasites could be find in the cavity, organs serous, mesentery, and muscle [5,[41][42].…”
