Cestoda; Molossus; frugivores; genes; histopathology; hosts; larvae; liver; phylogeny; ribosomal DNA; tapeworms; Amazonia; Brazil
Abstract:
... We describe a case of microscopic liver lesion caused by larval cestode in a frugivorous bat (Molossus molossus) from the Western Brazilian Amazon. Histopathological analysis of liver indicated the occurrence of metacestode associated with multifocal histiocytic response and the phylogenetic analysis of Cox-I and 18S rDNA genes indicated that the parasite belonged to the family Paruterinidae. This ...

Abstract:
... The Amazon represents one of the most complex biomes in the world; however, the temporal variations in parasite community structure of fishes inhabiting this region remain poorly understood. Therefore, processes generating such variations are still unknown. The present study evaluated the long-term temporal variation of community structure of metazoan parasites of Pimelodus blochii collected in Ia ...

Anisakidae; Calophysus macropterus; Cestoda; Ergasilus; Pentastomida; dry season; fish; hosts; larvae; parasites; rivers; seasonal variation; wet season; Amazonia; Brazil
Abstract:
... The diversity, similarity and seasonal variation of metazoan parasite communities in Calophysus macropterus in the Acre and Iaco rivers, in the western Amazon (Brazil), was investigated. Parasites from 13 taxa were collected from C. macropterus in both rivers: four species of monogeneans, four nematodes, two cestodes, one digenean, one crustacean and one pentastomid. In hosts from the Acre river, ...
