RESUMO
It is reported the parasitization of Kudoa sp. (Myxozoa, Multivalvulida) within the somatic muscles of the fish Odontesthes bonariensis (Valenciennes, 1835), Micropogonias furnieri (Desmarest, 1823) and Mugil liza Valenciennes, 1836, captured off Rio Grande, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. Other species of fish caught at the same place were not infected. The parasites formed elongated plasmodia inside the muscle fibres. Myoliquefaction or any host tissue reaction were not observed. The morphological and morphometric features of the spores are described, the parasites are compared with other Kudoa species, and the importance of the infection is discussed.(AU)
Descreve-se a infecção de Kudoa sp. (Myxozoa, Multivalvulida) nos músculos somáticos dos peixes O. bonariensis (Valenciennes, 1835), M. furnieri (Desmarest, 1823) e M. liza (Valenciennes, 1836), capturados em Rio Grande, Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Outras espécies de peixes capturados no mesmo local não estavam parasitadas. Os parasitas formavam plasmódios alongados no interior das fibras musculares. Não se observou liquefação do músculo do hospedeiro ou qualquer outra reação dos tecidos. Descrevem-se as características morfológicas e morfométricas dos esporos, os parasitas são comparados com outras espécies de Kudoa, e a importância da parasitose é discutida.(AU)

A parasitological survey was carried out on a sample of sixty mutton snappers (Lutjanus analis) that were caught on the coast of Alagoas, northeastern Brazil. The parasite diversity and infection levels were low. The ectoparasite Rocinela signata Schioedte & Meinert, 1879 (Isopoda: Aegidae), and larvae of two endoparasites, Trypanorhyncha gen. sp. and Hysterothylacium sp. (Nematoda: Anisakidae), were detected. The significance of these parasites is discussed in the context of their transmission pathways and potential impact.

Um estudo parasitológico foi realizado em 60 exemplares de cioba, Lutjanus analis, capturados ao largo de Alagoas, no Nordeste do Brasil. A diversidade e níveis de infecção parasitária foram baixos. Foram detectados o ectoparasito Rocinela signata Schioedte & Meinert, 1879 (Isopoda: Aegidae) e dois endoparasitos, larvas de Trypanorhyncha gen. sp. e larvas de Hysterothylacium sp. (Nematoda: Anisakidae). O significado desses parasitos é discutido no âmbito das suas vias de transmissão e potencial impacto.

During investigation on the helminth parasites from Brycon hilarii Valenciennes, 1850 (Characiformes, Characidae), from River Juba, Tangará da Serra, state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, several specimens of the nematode Neocucullanus Travassos, Artigas et Pereira, 1928 were detected. A detailed study of this material, including scanning electron microscopy, allowed to identify these nematodes as N. neocucullanus Travassos, Artigas et Pereira, 1928 and to confirm N. multipapillatus Petter, 1989 as a junior synonym of N. neocucullanus.

Data obtained between 1990 and 1995 provide, for the first time, ecological information of the parasitic nematode Travassosnema travassosi travassosi Costa, Moreira & Oliveira, 1991 from Acestrorhynchus lacustris (Characiformes: Acestrorhynchidae) collected in the Tibagi River, Sertanópolis, Paraná, Brazil. These nematode occurred with low prevalences (7.7% to 28.6%) and intensities (1 to 3) during almost the whole year. The observation of mature females throughout the year indicate that liberation of larvae can occur during all the year around. This is the first report on the occurrence of T. travassosi travassosi inside the eyes. These nematodes were mostly located in humour of the eyes (87% of cases), being less frequently detected in tissues behind the eyes (13% of cases).

The examination of gills from 240 fish from Paraná river, Brazil, showed the presence of small cysts in five fish species. Observation of the cysts showed they are plasmodia of Henneguya spp. (Myxozoa, Myxosporea, Myxobolidae). The morphometric and morphologic characteristics of the parasites are described.
