Abstract: Helminthes and protozoan of farmed pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) in easternAmazon and host-parasite relationship [ ABSTRACTThe parasitofauna in the giant Amazon basin, pirarucu (Arapaima gigas Schinz, 1822) cultured in fish farms from the state of Amapá, in eastern Amazonia (Brazil) was investigated. Of the 100 examined fish, 90.0% were parasitized by Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ciliophora), Dawestrema cycloancistrium, Dawestrema cycloancistrioides (Monogenoidea) and Polyacanthorhynchus macrorhynchus (Acanthoce… Show more

“…In the Amazon region, some authors (ARAÚJO et al, 2009;MARINHO et al, 2013;DIAS et al, 2015;SILVA et al, 2016) have reported that high prevalence of parasites in fish farms was associated with low levels of dissolved oxygen in the water, high temperatures and inadequate sanitary conditions. These authors also reported that replenishing the breeding areas with water from natural environments also influenced occurrences and levels of infection.…”

“…The mean temperature is above 30 °C, which is a factor that can cause stress among fish, thus favoring multiplication of parasites (MARINHO et al, 2013). Abiotic variations, such as high temperatures and low levels of oxygen can influence the abundance of some species of parasites or the abundance of intermediate hosts (TAVARES-DIAS et al, 2001;SCHALCH & MORAES, 2005;MARINHO et al, 2013;ZAGO et al, 2014;JERÔNIMO et al, 2016).…”

“…De los 100 peces examinados, 90,0% fueron parasitados por Dawestrema cycloancistrium, Dawestrema cycloancistrioides (Monogenoidea), que tenía un patrón de distribución y debido a las diferentes características de calidad y manejo del agua. Se encontró una correlación negativa entre la intensidad de los monogenoideanos D. cycloancistrium y D. cycloancistrioides y el factor de la condición relativa (Kn), pero el bienestar de los peces no se vio afectado por el parasitismo (Marinho et al, 2013). Placobdella sp (Figura 5), pertenecen al Fhylum annelida, Clase Hirudinida (sanguijuelas), Orden Rhynchobdellae y Familia Glossiphoniidae.…”
