“…In Brazil, the parasitic fauna of clupeid fishes is poorly known, with most studies of taxonomy origin, performed by Vaz and Pereira (1930), Kohn and Bührnheim (1964), Travassos et al (1967), Feijó et al (1979), Wallet and Kohn (1987), Fabio (1988), Fernandes and Goulart (1989), with descriptions and records of digenetic trematodes; Kohn and Santos (1988) and Santos and Kohn (1992) for monogeneans; Palm (1997) and Rodrigues et al (1990) for cestodes; Vicente et al (1985) and Feijó et al (1979) for nematodes; Montú (1980) and Amado and Falavigna (1996) for copepods. Studies regarding to ecological aspects were performed by Luque et al (2000) and , on the parasitic fauna of Harengula clupeola (Cuvier) and S. brasiliensis, and Brevoortia aurea (Spix and Agassiz), respectively.…”

Between March 2010 and August 2011 were necropsied 100 specimens of Sardinella brasiliensis (Steindachner, 1879), from the coast of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (22°51'S, 43°56'W), to study their community of metazoan parasites. All specimens of S. brasiliensis were parasitized by at least one species of metazoan parasite, with mean of 68.7 ± 71.2 parasites/fish. Eleven species were collected: 3 digeneans, 1 monogenean, 2 cestodes, 3 nematodes and 2 copepods. The digenean Myosaccium ecaude Montgomery was the most abundant, prevalent, and dominant species, representing 72.7% of metazoan parasites collected, showing positive correlation between host's total length and parasite abundance. Total parasite abundance was positively correlated with host's total length. Three pairs of adult endoparasites showed significant positive association and covariation. The parasite community of S. brasiliensis showed dominance by digeneans. Sardinella brasiliensis represents new host record for most found parasite species.Keywords: parasite ecology, community structure, Clupeidae, Sardinella brasiliensis, Brazil.

“…Leptodactylus latrans is an opportunistic feeder as its diet is determined by the availability of prey in the environment (Duellman & Trueb, 1994). Little is known about the helminth parasites of L. latrans, for which some isolated studies in Atlantic rainforest have been published (Vicente & Santos, 1976;Rodrigues et al, 1982Rodrigues et al, , 1990Stumpf, 1982). However, to our knowledge, no studies on the helminth community structure of this host species have been conducted.…”

The helminth fauna associated with Leptodactylus latrans, a large frog living in a disturbed environment of Atlantic rainforest in south-eastern Brazil, was evaluated. We found eight helminth taxa, including five nematode species, Falcaustra mascula, Oswaldocruzia subauricularis, Physaloptera sp., Rhabdias sp. and an unidentified cosmocercid, two trematodes, Gorgoderina parvicava and Haematoloechus fuelleborni, and one larval cestode. The overall prevalence of infection was 63.2% with a mean intensity of 11.3 ± 3.8. The cosmocercid nematode and O. subauricularis showed the highest prevalences, although the trematode G. parvicava was the most abundant and dominant parasite species. Host size positively influenced both the intensity of infection and parasite species richness. Our data suggest that the juvenile individuals of L. latrans are more susceptible to parasitic infection than the adults. The comparison of the similarity of this community component with that found in other studies in South America shows that, as well as the characteristics of the host, the sampling area also influences the parasitic fauna. Therefore, the results of this study agree that the helminth communities of frogs have relatively low species richness and dominance of generalist species.

“…Other parasites that have been reported for Leptodactylus ocellatus include Hannemania minor (Alzuet & Mauri 1985), frequently observed in this and other species of the region, as well as various species of nematodes and trematodes (Baker & Vaucher 1985, 1986, Kohn & Fernandez 1988, Rodrigues et al 1990, Paraense 1992). …”
