Parasitic diseases of freshwater ornamental fishes commercialized in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil
Keywords:
ornamental fish, parasites, diseases, prevalence, infectionAbstract
The parasitic fauna of ornamental fish from Florianópolis, SC, Brazil was evaluated from June 2004 through June 2005. Xiphophorus maculatus (n=88), Xiphophorus helleri (n=27), Poecilia sphenops (n=20), Macropodus opercularis (n=20), Trichogaster tricopterus (n=9), Beta splendens (n=8), Puntius conchonius (n=7), Carassius auratus (n=6), Gymnocorymbus ternetzi (n=4) were analyzed. From a total of 189 examined fishes, 65 (34%) were parasitized: 15.3% with metacercariae of Ascocotyle (Digenea); 15.3% with Monogenoidea; 6.9% with Piscinoodinium pillulare (Dinoflagellida); 4.7% with Trichodina acuta (Ciliophora); 3.7% with Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ciliophora); 2.6% with cestodes; 2.6% with Camallanus maculatus (Nematoda); 2.1% with Lernaea cyprinacea (Crustacea) and 0.5% with Chilodonella sp. (Ciliophora). The largest mean intensities of infection were 335 and 205, respectively to X. maculatus and X. helleri infected by metacercariae in the gills.
