“…The digenetic parasites were found in hosts of the Mediterranean Sea, except S. scleroporum, which was also recorded in the Atlantic Ocean, and O. takanoi, which was only obtained from specimens of the Pacific Ocean. Freitas & Lent (1938) published the first study of parasites of C. mydas in Brazil, on the coast of Rio de Janeiro, deposited in the Helminthological Collection of the Oswaldo Cruz Institute (CHIOC). Many species of Pronocephalidae Looss 1902, all the species of Telorchiidae Looss 1898 and Orchidasma amphiorchis (Braun 1899) were found in the stomach and small intestine.…”

The study of helminths can supply information about the ecology of their hosts and support evaluations of population stocks, migration patterns and trophic ecology. However, little is known about the parasites of Chelonia mydas, a globally distributed endangered species, along the Brazilian coast. Here we present a review of the literature of helminth species found in green turtles along the Brazilian coast, considering their global distribution, their infection sites and their other host species. The findings show that in recent years there has been a large increase in the number of studies reporting the parasitic species of these turtles in Brazil, which consequently increased the parasite species list of the green turtle. The helminth fauna of green turtles from Brazil is composed of 31 species of digenetic trematodes of seven families, and four species of nematodes of two families. Two of these helminths species are endemic, while 33 are widely distributed. They are concentrated in particular regions, although the observed distribution is likely related to the main research centers and not the actual geographical distribution of the species. Endemism was observed only for the digenean Ruicephalus minutus and for the nematoda Tonaudia freitasi.

Using available records, unpublished information retrieved from the Helminthological Collection of the Oswaldo Cruz Institute (CHIOC) and published reports, a checklist of the recorded helminth parasites of endangered vertebrates from Brazil was generated. A total of 772 records and 186 helminth species (6 Acanthocephala, 83 Nematoda, 23 Cestoda, 64 Trematoda, 10 Monogenea) in 76 host species (7 Actinopterygii, 8 Chondrichthyes, 1 Amphibia, 10 Reptilia, 22 Aves, 28 Mammalia) from Brazil were listed in the present work, including 39 undetermined helminth species and 10 new host records. This is the first compilation of the helminth parasites of threatened vertebrates in Brazil and in the Neotropics.

Digeneans parasitic in the loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta (L.) are reported for the first time from Australian waters. Six species, one of them new, are described or redescribed, figured, and their taxonomy discussed. They are: Plesiochorus cymbiformis (Rudolphi, 1819) Looss, 1901 (fam. Gorgoderidae) from the urinary bladder and cloaca; Pachypsolus irroratus (Rudolphi, 1819) Looss, 1902 (synonyms P. lunatus Looss, 1901; P. ovalis Linton, 1910; P. tertius Pratt, 1914; P. brachus Barker, 1922; P. puertoricensis Fischthal & Acholonu, 1976) (fam. Pachypsolidae) from the intestine; Enodiotrema carettae, sp. nov. (fam. Plagiorchiidae) from the liver; Orchidasma amphiorchis (Braun, 1899) Looss, 1900 (synonyms 0. indica Simha, Rao & Chattopadhyaya, 1971; 0, vitelloconfluens Rao, 1973) (farn. Telorchiidae) from the intestine; Cymatocarpus solearis (Braun, 1899) Braun, 1901 (synonym C. undulatus (Looss, 1899) Looss, 1902) (fam. Brachycoeliidae) from the intestine; Rhytidodes gelatinosus (Rudolphi, 1819) Looss, 1901 (synonyms R. secundus Pratt, 1914; R. indicus Simha & Chattopadhyaya, 1969) (fam. Rhytidodidae) from the intestine.
