Abstract: The present study investigated the effects of seasonal variation in parasites infracommunities of Hoplerythrinus unitaeniatus and Hoplias malabaricus from a tributary of Amazon River. For H. unitaeniatus and H. malabaricus, 11 parasite species were similar, and greatest parasite richness occurred during the rainy season. Ichthyophthirius multifiliis was the dominant parasite species for both hosts. In H. unitaeniatus, infection by Whittingtonocotyle caetei, Whittingtonocotyle jeju, Urocleidoides sp. and Anacan… Show more

“…In addition, there were higher levels of parasitism due to G. disparoides in C. amazonarum during the rainy season, when the environmental quality was better. Similar studies focusing on directly transmitted parasites have also reported a relationship between prevalence and abundance of ectoparasites in the dry/rainy season cycle in the Amazon (Gonçalves et al., ; Neves et al., ; Tavares‐Dias et al., ). However, other factors may also affect the prevalence and abundance of parasites in host fish populations.…”

The specimen studied is in agreement with those already reported.…”
