“…this stage is not found (DAVIES et al, 2004). In Brazil, Haemogregarina was found parasitizing lungfish piramboia Lepidosiren paradoxa, mullet Mugil liza and sole Paralichthys orbignyanus (JEPPS, 1927;EIRAS et al, 1995;DAVIES et al, 2008), while Cyrilia lignieresi Laveran, 1906 was found in the blood of marbled swamp eel Synbranchus marmoratus (LAINSON 1981(LAINSON , 1992DINIZ et al 2002).…”

The Phylum Protozoa brings together several organisms evolutionarily different that may act as ecto or endoparasites of fishes over the world being responsible for diseases, which, in turn, may lead to economical and social impacts in different countries. Apart from the recent advances for the diagnosis of fish diseases in Brazil, little is known on the protozoan parasites and their relationship with environment and host. This revision presents the most important protozoan parasites found in farmed fish from Brazil, not only with emphasis on its diagnosis, biology, transmission and host-parasite relationship, but also on some information that may be useful to researchers in determining the correct diagnosis in fish farms.Keywords: Fish parasites, disease, ciliate, dinoflagellate, pathogenicity. ResumoO filo Protozoa reúne diversos organismos evolutivamente distintos que podem atuar como ecto ou endoparasitos de peixes em todo o mundo, sendo responsáveis por doenças as quais, por sua vez, podem ocasionar impactos econômico e social nos diferentes países. Apesar dos recentes avanços no campo de diagnóstico de doenças em peixes no Brasil, ainda pouco se conhece sobre a fauna de protozoários parasitos de peixes e suas relações com o ambiente e hospedeiro. Esta revisão apresenta os mais importantes protozoários parasitos encontrados em peixes cultivados no Brasil, não apenas com ênfase no seu diagnóstico, biologia, transmissão e relação hospedeiro-parasito, mas também algumas informações que podem ser úteis para pesquisadores para o correto diagnóstico em pisciculturas.Palavras-chave: Parasitos de peixes, enfermidade, ciliado, dinoflagelado, patogenicidade.

“…Laird's species, H. irkalukpiki (1961), was found in anadromous salmonids which also spend part of their life in the sea. Other haemogregarines have been reported from the blood cells of fresh-water fishes by Nawrotzky (1914), Yakimoff and Shokhore (1917), and Yakimoff (1917 from Russia; by Leger and Leger (1914) from French West Africa; by Migone (1916) and Jepps (1927Jepps ( , 1929 from Paraguay; by Franchini and Saini (1923) from France; by Neiva and Pinto (1926) from Brazil; by Okada (1926) from Japan; and by Plimmer (Mello and Vales, 1937) from India.

“…These animals inhabit lentic or low current environments, and support low concentrations of dissolved oxygen in water (Almeida-Val et al, 2016). There are a few records of parasitism in South American lungfish, with registers of Haemogregarina lepidosirenis (Jepps, 1927), Agarella gracilis (Dunkerly, 1915;Vita et al, 2004), and Eimeria lepidosirenis (Lainson and Ribeiro, 2006). Thus, the objective of this study is to report parasitism by trichodinids in this host, contributing to the knowledge of its parasite fauna.…”

The South American lungfish Lepidosiren paradoxa as a new host for Trichodina quelenii

Recently, the South American lungfish Lepidosiren paradoxa is being found inside aquaculture ponds, and even though there are a few studies on their parasite fauna, there is still much to be reported. Thus, the objective of this study is to report parasitism by trichodinids in L. paradoxa, as these ciliate protozoa are related to injuries and mortality in fish farming. The lungfish were collected from experimental tanks, had their tegument scraped and the resultant mucus was analyzed under an optical microscope for morphological and morphometrical analyses in Giemsa and silver nitrate stained slides. The species found was identified as Trichodina quelleni. This is the first report of this parasite in L. paradoxa, and the second report in cultivated fish in Brazil.
