Members of the genus Uvulifer are distributed worldwide and infect aquatic snails freshwater fishes as first second intermediate hosts, respectively, fish-eating birds (kingfishers) definitive hosts. Metacercariae spp. were collected from fins skin 20 species in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua Costa Rica, adults recovered intestine kingfishers four localities Mexico. The genetic divergence among 76 samples (64 metacercariae 12 adults) was estimated by sequencing 28S 5.8S nuclear...
Members of the genus Strigea Abildgaard, 1790 are endoparasites birds distributed worldwide. Adults an undescribed species were collected from intestines two hawk (Rupornis magnirostris and Accipiter coperii). Other identified as Parastrigea macrobursa that described in Argentina also recovered (Buteogallus urubitinga Buteogallus anthracinus) three localities along coasts Mexico. Specimens sequenced for molecular markers, internal transcribed spacers locus (ITS1-5.8S rDNA- ITS2) domains...
From December 2012 to November 2014, 267 fish belonging the family Profundulidae (representing nine of 11 species genus Profundulus) were collected in 26 localities Middle-America, across southern Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras, comprising distribution range genus, analyzed for helminth parasites. Additionally, a database with all ten available published accounts parasite fauna this (the only within family) was assembled. Based on both sources information, checklist containing records...
Abstract Polymorphidae is a monophyletic group of acanthocephalans distributed worldwide. Within this family, Hexaglandula corynosoma specialist species that uses single bird as definitive host. Southwellina hispida generalist broad spectrum hosts to complete its life cycle. In the current research, sequences cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 ( cox1 ) from mitochondrial DNA were generated 44 specimens H. and 76 S. sympatrically in 6 biogeographic provinces Mexico with objective characterizing...
Abstract Adults of Hysteromorpha triloba (Rudolpi, 1819), Lutz, 1931 inhabit primarily the intestine cormorants across globe, whereas metacercariae have been found in body cavity freshwater fishes families Cyprinidae, Ictaluridae, Ariidae, Pimelodidae and Catostomidae. In this study, adults identified as H. were collected from Neotropical cormorant ( Nannopterum brasilianus ) Mexican tetra fish Astyanax mexicanus Gulf Mexico Pacific Ocean slopes region. Partial DNA sequences mitochondrial...
Scaphanocephalus is a small trematode genus belonging to the family Opistorchiidae. The currently contains only three species associated with marine fish as intermediate hosts and fish-eating birds definitive hosts. Here, specimens of were collected from Osprey, Pandion haliaetus, White mullet, Mugil curema in Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico. We report for first-time DNA sequences adult Scaphanocephalus, particularly S. expansus, well sequence different sampled metacercaria. Morphological...
Abstract The taxonomy of the 10 recognized Neoechinorhynchus species associated with emydid turtles is complex due to morphological conservatism. In present study, specimens N. emyditoides from northern and southeastern Mexico exhibit great phenotypic plasticity on its diagnostic characteristics. We sequenced three molecular markers: internal transcribed spacers ITS1, ITS2 5.8S gene, D2 + D3 domains large subunit nuclear DNA cytochrome c oxidase I ( cox1 ) mitochondrial DNA. Sequences...

Los miembros del género Clinostomum, son un grupo de parásitos que en estadio adulto residen la cavidad bucal aves ictiófagas, mientras fase larva conocida como metacercaria, se encuentran forma quiste color amarillo músculo, oral, ojos, branquias, tejido subcutáneo, gónadas, hígado y otros órganos, peces vida silvestre cultivados distribuidos todo el mundo. En presente proyecto investigación recopilamos información disponible base datos GenBank las especies Clinostomum diferentes regiones...
Adult specimens of Andracantha gravida (Alegret, 1941) were recorded from the intestines double-crested cormorant Nannopterum auritus (Lesson) (type host) and brown pelican Pelecanus occidentalis L. in two localities Mexico: Celestún, Yucatan (south-eastern) Punta Piedra, Tamaulipas (north-eastern). The A. are morphologically characterized by having a pipe-shaped body without swellings, absence small trunk spines between fields on foretrunk cylindrical proboscis with 14-16 rows 10-12 hooks...
