| Summary: | Between October 2006 and March 2008, 60 specimens of Paralichthys isosceles were captured in the littoral of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to be investigated for anisakid nematodes, due to their zoonotic relevance. Five species of larval anisakid were present, in a total amount of 1,900 worms. One thousand eighty hundred and twenty larvae of Hysterothylacium sp., 71 of Raphidascaris sp., four of Terranova sp., three of Anisakis simplex and two of Contracaecum sp. were recovered. Parasites were found infecting the abdominal cavity, mesentery, intestine, liver, stomach mucosa, stomach, ovaries, abdominal musculature, and serosas of the heart, spleen, stomach, kidneys and ovaries. Hysterothylacium sp. appeared with a prevalence (P) of 100%, mean intensity (MI) of 30.3 |
