First case of an infection of the metacercariae of Austrodiplostomum compactum (Lutz, 1928) (Digenea, Diplostomidae) in Hypostomus regani (Ihering, 1905) (Siluriformes: Loricariidae). [PDF]
Austrodiplostomum compactum (Lutz, 1928) (Digenea, Diplostomidae) was recorded infecting the eyes of a Hypostomus regani (Ihering, 1905) (Siluriformes: Loricariidae).

PARASITE DIVERSITY OF Hoplosternum littorale FROM THE TIETÊ-BATALHA RIVER BASIN, SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL
A total of 53 tamboatás, Hoplosternum littorale, from the Batalha River, São Paulo, southeastern Brazil, were examined between February 2014 to December 2016. Seventeen species of parasites were identified, and 961 specimens were collected . The richness

Background and Objectives. Lymnaeid snails are the known intermediate hosts of the liver fluke Fasciola spp. and therefore play an important role in the parasite’s life cycle. The study is conducted to determine specificity of snail host‐parasite interaction and to determine the snail‐trematode infection rate by cercarial emergence, characterizing the ...

Checklists of Parasites of Farm Fishes of Babylon Province, Iraq
Literature reviews of all references concerning the parasitic fauna of fishes in fish farms of Babylon province, middle of Iraq, showed that a total of 92 valid parasite species are so far known from the common carp (Cyprinus carpio), the grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), and the silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) as well as from three ...

Metacercarial Infection of Wild Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) from Brazil
Fingerlings of Oreochromis niloticus collected in an artificial urban lake from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, were evaluated for natural infection with trematodes. Morphological taxonomic identification of four fluke species was performed in O. niloticus examined, and the total prevalence of metacercariae was 60.7% (37/61).

METACERCARIAE OF HYSTEROMORPHA TRILOBA (DIGENEA: DIPLOSTOMIDAE) IN WILD AND FARMED FISH IN ITALY
During 2013 two outbreaks of massive infestation by metacercariae in wild chub Squalius cephalus and farmed black bullhead Ictalurus melas were observed. The metacercariae were about 1 mm, whitish and scattered in muscle. The morphological study allowed identifying the parasites as Hysteromorpha triloba, a cosmopolitan Diplostomidae previously reported

Antagonistic Rewiring and Turnover Patterns in a Neotropical Fish–Parasite Metanetwork
ABSTRACT Integrating beta‐diversity and network analyses is an emerging approach for understanding the spatial structure of species communities. For instance, although the presence of hosts affects parasite species distribution, environmental factors can either restrict or promote the occurrence of certain parasite species by changing the abundance of ...
