Estuarine environments are places of high productivity and diversity. The different profiles presented by these regions allow the fixation of many organisms, which will be exposed to the high chemical and physical variability present in the estuaries. In the surroundings of most Brazilian estuaries, many human groups have been established for many years, promoting the most diverse types o…
Fish are the vertebrates with the highest number of host-parasite associations, both with parasites from different phyla even from different kingdoms. It is estimated that only 6% of Brazilian fish species have been studied regarding their parasitic fauna and, therefore, the biodiversity of fish parasites is still incipient in Brazil. Among the main groups of fish parasites, ergasilids, m…
In Denmark and Brazil close 50% of the adult population suffers from medium or severe over-weight and welfare diseases are increasing, but Brazil also has 10 mio people suffering from malnutrition. A change in dietary habits to more protein-rich food might reduce these health issues. Fish are a valuable protein source, but provide also vital fatty acids and minerals. Fish in natural water…
The helminth communities associated with amphibians and reptiles are generally characterized by low species richness. However, features of the habitat and host of the local community can affect the composition and structure of component communities of helminths. Factors such as the specificity of the parasite to the host and the geographical distance between host populations contribute to…

South America has the highest diversity of freshwater fishes in the world. Fishes of the order Siluriformes and cichlids of the genus Cichla (Cichlidae), besides their high economic and recreational value, represent an important fraction of these ecosystems, playing an essential ecological role for the maintenance of the local biological diversity. Likewise, the proteocephalidean cestodes…
Fishes are the vertebrate group with the largest number of parasite-host associations, having associations with parasites from different phyla and even so from different kingdoms. Among the main groups of parasites, crustaceans stand out as one of the most diverse with estimates of over 5.000 parasite species. In Brazil, Ergasilidae (Copepoda) is currently the richest family of fish paras…

Due to its great territorial extension and the largest hydrographic network on the planet, Brazil is awarded one of the largest ichthyofaunistic freshwater diversities in the world. Proportionally the diversity of fish, the fish parasites has also a great variety. However, much of this richness has yet to be investigated, as parasites can indicate various biological aspects of their hosts…
Being the largest country in Latin America, Brazil in its great territorial extension, encompasses different aquatic ecosystems that shelter one of the biggest ichthyofaunistic diversities of fresh water. The Paraná River Basin, covers five Brazilian states and has as one of the main tributaries the Paranapanema River. The region called Alto Paranapanema River is composed mainly of fish o…

Biodiversity in freshwaters has been widely studied and it is evident that parasites form a fundamental part of this diversity. Fishes of the order Siluriformes, known as catfishes, have a worldwide distribution with more 2,800 species. Approximately 1,700 species, i.e. more than 60%, are found in America, mainly in the Neotropical region. More than 350 species of 31 genera of gill monoge…
Few studies report the biodiversity of fish parasites in natural populations in order to improve information about their geographical distribution, biology and spacial structure of the parasite community. The limited knowledge about the biological aspects, biogeographic patterns of distribution and high morphological variability of Loricariidae fishes are factors that make the studies on …
Parasites were recently recognized as important components of the global biodiversity, because of the important roles played by these organisms in natural ecosystems. In Brazil, there are several studies about the occurrence of parasites in various fish species. However, most of them refer only to taxonomic aspects and/or have few quantitative and ecological data on parasite communities, …
