Article Synopsis
- Between January and August 2012, a study was conducted on thirty specimens of Cynoscion guatucupa fish caught off the coast of Itajaí, Brazil, to examine them for zoonotic nematodes.
- A total of 853 larvae were identified, belonging to four species of nematodes, including three types from the Anisakidae family and one from Raphidascarididae.
- The findings highlight significant prevalence rates for Hysterothylacium deardorffoverstreetorum (83.3%) and mark the first report of Anisakis sp. and Contracaecum sp. in this fish species in Brazil.
Myxidium volitans sp. nov. (Myxozoa: Myxidiidae) parasitizing the hypertrophied green-brownish gallbladder of the teleost Dactylopterus volitans, collected in the Atlantic coast near Niterói, Brazil was described based on ultrastructural studies.
