First report of a helminth infection for Bryde's whale Balaenoptera edeni Anderson, 1878 (Cetacea, Balaenopteridae)

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Mammals, 2004
Acanthocephalans represented by Bolbosoma capitatum (von Linstow, 1880) Porta, 1908 were recovered from a single specimen of Bryde's whale ( Balaenoptera edeni ) from the coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This is a new host record for the parasite and the first case of infection by helminths in Bryde's whales.

[The diversity and distribution of the cetaceans of Costa Rica (Cetacea: Delphinidae, Physeteridae, Ziphiidae y Balaenopteridae)].

Revista de biologia tropical, 2005
The first complete checklist of Costa Rican cetaceans is presented with a total of 28 species (35% of the group's world diversity). Most of the species occur in the Pacific Ocean (89%) and most are considered oceanic (57%), common (54%) and resident (68%). The known distribution and status of each species are also provided.
