“…Remarks : Prionosomoides includes three species that parasitize freshwater turtles: Pr. scalaris Freitas & Dobbin, 1967 parasitizes P. geoffroanus from Brazil (Freitas & Dobbin Jr., 1967) and P. hilarii from Argentina (Lombardero & Moriena, 1977); Pr. taiwanensis Fischathal & Kuntz, 1975 parasitizes Mauremys reevesii (Gray, 1831) from Taiwan (Fischthal & Kuntz, 1975); and Pr.…”

Six species of freshwater turtles dominate the Chaco-Pampa Plain in southern South America and their parasites have been relatively understudied, with most records concentrated in Brazil. Particularly in Argentina, there are only scattered records of parasites for most of the turtles that inhabit the region, leaving a large knowledge gap. The purpose of the present contribution is to increase the knowledge of the internal parasites of six species of freshwater turtles from Argentina, after 15 years of fieldwork, by providing new hosts and additional geographic records for many host-parasite relationships. Some molecular sequences of the studied parasites were provided as a tool for better species identification. We processed 433 stomach and fecal samples from live individuals and visceral and soft tissue samples from 54 dissected turtles collected from a wide range and different ecoregions. We found 6230 helminths belonging to 18 taxa (one cestode, 11 digeneans and six nematodes). Fourteen new parasite-host associations are reported here, and for the first time parasites are recorded for Phrynops williamsi. This work contributes significantly to the knowledge of the parasitofauna in freshwater turtles in Argentina, providing a detailed list of parasites present in each turtle species and reporting molecular characters for future studies.
