“…larvae are from marine fish, but these larvae might be carried from the marine environment into freshwaters by some migratory Baía River, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Central Brazil (Isaac et al, 2004) and in Scomberomorus brasiliensis Collette, Russo and Zavala-Camin, 1978 and Trichiurus lepturus Linnaeus, 1758 from the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Northeastern Brazil (Cavalcanti et al, 2012), showing its wide distribution throughout Brazil.…”

Third-stage larvae (L 3 ) of Hysterothylacium sp. were collected by the first time in juveniles of pirarucu Arapaima gigas farmed in the Rio Preto da Eva, Amazonas state. Ninety-eight (98) out of 100 examined fish showed to be parasitized. Five hundred and ninety larvae of Hysterothylacium sp. were collected from the intestines, stomach and pyloric caeca. The mean intensity of parasite indexes was 6.02 (±5.75) ranging from 1 to 40 larvae per host and the mean abundance was 5.9 (±5.76). The A. gigas is the new host record for larvae of Hysterothylacium sp. in Brazil, and this is the first record of larvae of Hysterothylacium (Nematoda: Anisakidae) with zoonotic potential in the pirarucu from South America.

“…In the present study, no adult specimens were found, thus indicating that the fish collected were serving as an intermediate host for this nematode. Cavalcanti et al (2012) reported the presence of 28 specimens of Contracaecum fortalezae (= H. fortalezae) in the gill chambers and gonads of fifteen samples of Scomberomorus brasiliensis Collette, Russo & Zavala-Camin, 1978, collected on the coast of the State of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. They also recorded a specimen of Hysterothylacium sp.…”

“…The genus Hysterothylacium has been mentioned as important for health surveillance studies (CAVALCANTI et al, 2012;FELIZARDO et al, 2009aFELIZARDO et al, , 2009bFONTENELLE et al, 2013;YAGI et al, 1996). Continuation of studies on this parasitism is of sanitary importance from a public health point of view, in order to implement and reinforce hygiene standards and fish quality control.…”

Between February and August, 2012, thirty specimens of Atlantic moonfish, Selene setapinnis, were purchased in local markets in Niterói, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with the aim of analyzing the presence of anisakid nematodes, establishing their rates of parasitism and infection sites, due to importance in the sanitary inspection. A total of sixty nematode larvae, belonging to at least two species were found: nine larvae of Terranova sp., Anisakidae, with prevalence (P) of 13.3%, mean intensity (MI) of 2.25, mean abundance (MA) of 0.30 and range of infection intensity (RI) from 1 to 6; and 51 larvae of Hysterothylaciumfortalezae, Raphidascarididae, with P = 26.7%, MI = 6.40, MA = 1.70, and RI = 1-17. The infection sites for Terranova sp. were the mesentery and liver serosa; and for H. fortalezae, the infection sites were the mesentery, abdominal cavity and liver serosa. New morphological data from scanning electron microscopy, on the external structures of H. fortalezae (mainly at the posterior end), are presented. This is the first report of H. fortalezae parasitizing S. setapinnis.

“…The most fish-borne nematodes found in humans are members of Anisakidae and Gnathostomatidae families, and Capillaria philippinensis of Trichinellidae family (EIRAS et al, 2018). The nematodes of these families are reported as parasites of many species of marine and freshwater fishes, but infection in humans can occur by consuming fishes alive, raw or undercooked (CAVALCANTI et al, 2012;ANDRADE-PORTO et al, 2015;RODRIGUES et al, 2015).…”

Fish immune systems have become the subject of several studies due to the growing development of aquaculture and fisheries, and the demand for healthy produce for human consumption. Among the parasites responsible for diseases in fish farming, helminths stand out because they cause infections in farmed fish and decrease food conversion, zootechnical performance and meat quality. In the present review, the components that participate in the innate and adaptive immune responses of teleost fish that have so far been described are presented in order to summarize the defenses that these hosts have recourse to, in combating different groups of helminth parasites.
