Helminth parasites of vertebrates have been studied in Costa Rica for more than 50 years. Survey work on this group of parasites is far from complete. We assembled a database with all the records of helminth parasites of wild and domestic vertebrates in Costa Rica. Information was obtained from different sources such as literature search (all published accounts) and parasite collections. Here we present a checklist with a parasitehost list as well as a host-parasite list. Up to now, 303 species have been recorded, including 81 species of digeneans, 23 monogeneans, 63 cestodes, 12 acanthocephalans, and 124 nematodes. In total, 108 species of vertebrates have been studied for helminths in Costa Rica (31 species of fishes, 7 amphibians, 14 reptiles, 20 birds, and 36 mammals). This represents only 3.8% of the vertebrate fauna of Costa Rica since about 2,855 species of vertebrates occur in the country. Interestingly, 58 species (19.1 %) were recorded as new species from Costa Rica and most of them are endemic to particular regions. Considering the valuable information that parasites provide because it is synergistic with all the information about the natural history of the hosts, helminth parasites of vertebrates in Costa Rica should be considered within any initiatives to accomplish the national inventory of biological resources. Starting with this compilation work, the Colección de Helmintos de Costa Rica (CHCR), hosted at the Facultad de Microbiología, Universidad de Costa Rica, has re-emerged and it is our hope that it will have the standards of quality to assure that it will become the national depository of helminths in the country.

“…En cada estación de muestreo se colectaron 10 hospederos, 40 individuos en total (24 machos y 16 hembras, LCR= 9.8-15.8 cm; peso: 79-279 g). Se encontraron 8 anuros parasitados (20%) en 3 de las 4 estaciones de muestreo evaluadas; los digéneos intestinales hallados fueron Pseudosonsinotrema chabaudi (Caballero y Caballero, 1969) Sullivan, 1974, en San Antonio de Prado y Mesocoelium monas Rudolphi, 1819, en Barbosa y Bello; en Sabaneta no se encontraron hospederos parasitados. En el Cuadro 1 se comparan las medidas de P. chabaudi con las de ejemplares colectados en Costa Rica (Caballero y Caballero, 1969;Sullivan, 1971).…”

“…Pseudosonsinotrema chabaudi se identifi có con base en las características morfológicas defi nidas para esta especie por Caballero y Caballero (1969), quienes la describieron como Brenesia chabaudi Caballero y Caballero, 1969. Posteriormente, el género Brenesia fue sinonimizado con Pseudosonsinotrema por Sullivan (1974), transfi riendo la especie de Caballero y Caballero a este último género. La validez de la especie está reconocida en la actualidad (Rodríguez-Ortíz et al, 2004;Lotz y Font, 2008), caracterizándose por su vesícula excretora con forma de V a Y, a la cual se ajustan los ejemplares del presente estudio y cuyas ramas son anchas, como se observa en la fi gura 1.…”

los cuales se encontraron parasitados por 2 especies de digéneos: Pseudosonsinotrema chabaudi (Caballero y Caballero, 1969) Sullivan, 1974 (Pleurogenidae) (primer registro para Colombia y para el hospedero) y Mesocoelium monas (Rudolphi, 1819) Freitas, 1958 (Brachycoeliidae), previamente registrado para este país. De las 2 especies de helmintos recolectadas, la que alcanzó los mayores niveles de prevalencia (40%) y abundancia media (14.7) fue P. chabaudi en San Antonio de Prado, y la intensidad promedio más elevada fue para M. monas, en los sapos de Barbosa (46.7).

“…Host, locality, geographical coordinates, and GenBank accession numbers for cox1 and ITS2 sequences of analyzed samples. Caballero and Caballero (1969) erected Brenesia with B. chabaudi from a species of Lithobathes; this species is typical of intestine of frogs. This genus has been subject to taxonomic controversy (Sullivan 1971).…”

Molecular evidence thatLangeronia macrocirraandLangeroniacf.parva(Trematoda: Pleurogenidae) parasites of anurans from Mexico are conspecific

The genus Langeronia parasitizing the intestine of several species of anurans is distributed from North to Central America. We identified Langeronia macrocirra and Langeronia cf. parva from the same host and localities, and present here new data not applicable about their tegumental surface by scanning electron microscopy. We compared sequences of the rDNA ITS2 region and mtDNA cox1 gene for the two morphotypes. ITS2 exhibited a high degree of conservation. Phylogenetic reconstruction using cox1 revealed three clades (I, II, and III), which did not correspond to a previous identification or host. Little divergence was found within clades: sequences were identical in clade I, whereas clade II had 0.27% and clade III had 1.08%. Inter-clade divergence reached 8.69% (I vs. III). This pattern of genetic divergence indicated that both taxa probably belong to the same species, so we posit that the morphological changes could be correlated with development. Increasing sample size and geographical coverage will contribute to the taxonomy of the genus based on morphological and molecular evidence, and will open tracks toward the use of DNA barcodes to the genus in Mexico.
