Abstract: This study investigated the parasites fauna of four freshwater ornamental fish species in aquarium shops of Macapá, Amapá State, in addition to survey the commercialized fish species and sanitary conditions of aquarium shops. Different native and non-native ornamental fish species were found in aquarium shops, mainly Poecilidae. We examined 30 specimens of Xiphophorus maculatus, 30 Danio rerio, 30 Paracheirodon axelrodi, and 30 Corydoras ephippifer for parasites. Of the 120 fish examined, 22.5% were parasitize… Show more

“…Species of digeneans require intermediate hosts in its complex life cycle (Quintana & Ostrowski-Núñez, 2014;Oliveira et al, 2017;Hoshino, et al, 2018) and are endoparasites that has been reported in low to moderate infection levels in ornamental fish species (Wanlop, Wongsawad, Prattapong, Wongsawad, Chontananarth, & Chai, 2017;Hoshino et al, 2018). However, there were few studies on metacercarial infection of digeneans in species of ornamental fish (Wanlop et al, 2017;Cardoso, Costa, & Balian, 2018), mainly on species of Hyphessobrycon (Table 4).…”

“…For example, Camallanus cotti Fujita, 1927, a native nematode from Japan was first recorded in Brazil infecting Poecilia reticulata Peters, 1859 (Alves et al, 2000), assumed to be introduced along with the introduction of the exotic poeciliid fish species. Fish may be intermediate, paratenic or definitive hosts for different species of nematodes (Molnár, Buchmann, & Székely, 2006;Acosta & Silva, 2015;Oliveira et al, 2017;Tavares-Dias et al, 2017;Hoshino et al, 2018). In general, larvae are more pathogenic than adult forms, since they may migrate through various host organs.…”

“…The capture and transport of Amazonian wild ornamental fish can cause stress due to inadequate management, which can lead to parasitic infections and high mortality rates of host populations. These fish presents a peculiar fauna of parasites and when captured and kept in culture with high population density, they may present high rates of parasitic infections (Ferraz 1999, Tavares-Dias et al 2010, Aguinaga et al 2015, Hoshino et al 2018. Parasites, an inseparable component of the environment, are often the major cause of mortality and elimination of fish by the ornamental fishery (Ferraz 1999, Tavares-Dias et al 2010, Aguinaga et al 2015, which represents high biological losses.…”
