“…They are potentially zoonotic, when there is consumption of raw or undercooked contaminated fish, and may cause local inflammatory reactions in the oropharyngeal region (Hara, Miyauchi, Tahara, & Yamashita, 2014). In Brazil, there are few records of C. detruncatum parasitism in fish such as muscles and body surface of Hemiancistrus punctulatus Cardoso & Malabarba, 1999, on the body surface of Rhamdia quelen (Quoy & Gaimard, 1824), in muscles of Trachelyopterus striatulus (Steindachner, 1877) and in the coelomic cavity of Synbranchus marmoratus Bloch, 1795 (Acosta et al, 2016).…”

The parasitic biodiversity of the Loricaria prolixa, an endemic fish from the Paraná and Prata basins was studied and analyzed the parasitic's communities dynamics and their ecological relations with this host. Samples were collected in the Batalha River and 39 specimens were analyzed from 2014 to 2016. All fishes were parasitized. The component community was composed by twelve species with 8694 metazoan found on the surface, gills, eyes, brain, intestine and blood of the hosts. Demidospermus spirophallus, Diplostomidae gen. sp., Rhabdochona kidderi and Oligobdella sp. showed higher values for the parasitism's ecological descriptors, and were centrals and dominants species. The infracommunities were characterized by specific richness smaller in relation to diversity, and both superior to equitability (H' = 0.94; J = 0.6; d = 0.83). There was a significant positive correlation between the host standard length and the parasite abundance of D. spirophallus, Diplostomidae gen. sp. and Oligobdella sp., while Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) inopinatus presented a significant negative correlation. This is the first contribution concerning the parasite biodiversity of L. prolixa. Clinostomum detruncatum, Diplostomidae gen. sp., Austrodiplostomum compactum, R. kidderi, P. (S.) inopinatus, P. (S.) rebecae, Cucullanus pinnai pinnai, Oligobdella sp. and Trypanosoma sp. were first recorded in this host.

“…The three metacercariae under study represent new lineages, different from the ones known until now in South America and the world (Pérez-Ponce de León et al ., 2007, 2016; Gustinelli et al ., 2010; Caffara et al ., 2011, 2014a, b, 2017; Morais et al ., 2011; Sereno-Uribe et al ., 2013, 2018; Locke et al ., 2015; Pinto et al ., 2015; Acosta et al ., 2016; Davies et al ., 2016; Briosio-Aguilar et al ., 2018). The p -distance supports the independence from all the other sequences, confirming their status as new lineages or species.…”

“…(2014a, b), among others, agree that the validity of species within Clinostomum has been problematic. In recent years, molecular analysis has been used to confirm the diagnosis and, together with the morphological features, to help distinguish among species, revealing also a high biodiversity of lineages (Pérez-Ponce de León et al ., 2007, 2016; Gustinelli et al ., 2010; Caffara et al ., 2011, 2014a, b, 2017; Sereno-Uribe et al ., 2013; Locke et al ., 2015, 2019; Pinto et al ., 2015; Acosta et al ., 2016; Briosio-Aguilar et al ., 2018; Sereno-Uribe et al ., 2018).…”

“…Metacercariae parasitize a large variety of fish hosts, since they have been found in at least 12 families of freshwater fish: Cichlidae, Percidae, Centrarchidae, Symbranchidae, Eleotridae, Heptapteridae, Profundulidae, Poecilidae, Goodeidae, Characidae, Cyprinidae and Catostomidae (Szidat, 1969; Dias et al ., 2003; Pérez-Ponce de León et al ., 2007, 2016; Gustinelli et al ., 2010; Caffara et al ., 2011, 2014a, b, 2017; Morais et al ., 2011; Sereno-Uribe et al ., 2013, 2018; Locke et al ., 2015; Pinto et al ., 2015; Acosta et al ., 2016; Davies et al ., 2016; Briosio-Aguilar et al ., 2018).…”

Pathology associated with three newClinostomummetacercariae from Argentina with morphological and DNA barcode identification

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the Laboratory of Parasites of Fishes, Crustaceans and Mollusks (CEPAVE), we undertook a parasitological study on three species of fish from the Espinal and Esteros del Iberá ecoregions of Argentina. Clinostomid metacercariae were found parasitizing Characidium rachovii, Crenicichla vittata and Gymnogeophagus balzanii. In this study, we analysed the damage that these parasites inflict on their hosts through the evaluation of histological sections. In addition, Clinostomum metacercariae were identified using morphological characters and DNA barcoding. In the pathological analysis, we observed that muscle tissue was the most affected. The inflammatory response showed vascular congestion areas and infiltration of numerous inflammatory cells, mainly lymphocytes. The molecular and morphological approach supports the presence of three new lineages of clinostomid metacercariae in Argentina. This could lead to the discovery of a high number of lineages or species of Clinostomum from South America.

Multiparasitism in gills of Metynnis lippincottianus from the environmental protection area of Curiaú river, Eastern Amazon

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The high fish diversity of the Amazon has been the subject of study for several research projects because of the importance of its ecosystems. The Environmental Protection Area of the Curiaú River is composed of permanent and temporary lakes within the floodplain forests, favoring a rich diversity of fish species. Pratinha. (Metynnis lippincottianus) is an ornamental fish, widely distributed throughout Brazil and French Guiana. Fish parasites may reflect the environmental quality, as well as the habits of their host. Considering the importance of understanding and contributing to the expansion of studies on fish parasites, the present study aimed to investigate the gills of Metynnis lippincottianus from the Curiaú River basin in the municipality of Macapá (Eastern Amazon). A total of 200 specimens of Metynnis lippincottianus from the Curiaú River were examined and 89% of the analyzed fish were parasitized by metacercariae, Dactylogyridae gen. sp., Piscinoodinium pillulare, Trichodina sp., Henneguya sp., and Myxobolus sp. Despite this high parasitic load, body conditions were not affected. This is the first documented incidence of a species belonging to the Phylum Cnidaria: Myxozoa in Metynnis lippincottianus.
