An immature female acanthocephalan in a tumor on the serosa over the ileum of a 16-year-old boy in Kagoshima, Japan, was identified as probably a species of Bolbosoma. This is the second such case to be reported.

Article Synopsis
- The Canary Islands feature a rich diversity of marine species, particularly in stranded cetaceans, which provide valuable scientific insights.
- The study analyzed 233 stranded cetaceans from 2018 to 2022, identifying 18 types of parasites, with adult and juvenile animals being the most affected.
- Accurate identification of these parasites is crucial for understanding disease patterns, evaluating the health of cetacean populations, and crafting conservation strategies.

During an ichthyoparasitological survey in 2017-2019, six species of acanthocephalans were found among Taiwan's freshwater (Cypriniformes: Xenocyprididae, Cyprinidae) and marine fishes (Scombriformes: Scombridae, Trichiuridae; Anabantiformes: Channidae; Carangaria/misc: Latidae): Micracanthorhynchina dakusuiensis (Harada, 1938), Rhadinorhynchus laterospinosus Amin, Heckmann et Ha, 2011, Pallisentis rexus Wongkham et Whitfield, 1999, Longicollum sp., Bolbosoma vasculosum (Rudolphi, 1819), and one new species, Micracanthorynchina brevelemniscus sp. n.

Article Synopsis
- Acanthocephalans of the order Polymorphida are important parasites in birds and mammals, with some species causing zoonotic diseases in humans, particularly acanthocephaliasis.
- This study reports the complete mitochondrial genomes of two Polymorphidae species for the first time, detailing their gene composition and unique arrangements compared to other acanthocephalans.
- Phylogenetic analyses reveal new evolutionary relationships among the families of Polymorphida, indicating that Polymorphidae is closely related to Centrorhynchidae and providing valuable genetic data for studying these parasites.
Helminths of South American fur seals (Arctocephalus australis) from the Subtropical Convergence Zone of the Southwestern Atlantic.

Parasites are important components of ecosystems and may contribute to the ecological aspects of their hosts and indicate the integrity of their environment. To identify the gastrointestinal helminths of the South American fur seal, Arctocephalus australis, 52 animals found dead on the Rio Grande do Sul coast, Southern Brazil, were necropsied. All studied animals were parasitized, and 104,670 specimens of helminths from three phyla and 14 taxa were collected.

Free-ranging cetaceans are considered sentinels for the marine ecosystem's health. New and non-invasive methods have been set up for the collection of fecal samples from free-ranging big whales at sea, permitting to gain an excellent epidemiological picture of parasitic infections in wild populations. To select the best protocol to be used for copromicroscopic examination in cetaceans stool samples, we evaluated the sensitivity of two commonly used techniques, i.
