New records for helminth species recovered from elasmobranch fishes in Brazil are established. Digenean and acanthocephalan parasites of elasmobranch fishes are reported from the southern coast of Brazil: Otodistomum veliporum (Creplin, 1837) Stafford, 1904 (Digenea: Azygiidae) in the stomach and spiral valve of Dipturus trachydermus and in the spiral valve of Squatina sp. Cystacanths and juveniles of the acanthocephalans Corynosoma australe Johnston, 1937 and Corynosoma sp., in the spiral…

Taxonomic reports of Otobothrioidea (Eucestoda, Trypanorhyncha) from elasmobranch fishes of the southern coast off Brazil.
TLDR
Specimens of elasmobranch fishes, captured in the states of Paraná and Santa Catarina, of the southern coast off Brazil, were parasitized with otobothrioid trypanorhynch cestodes and Progrillotia dollfusi is reported for the first time in elasmOBranchs.
Taxonomy and ecology of metazoan parasites of otariids from Patagonia, Argentina : adult and infective stages
TLDR
Sea lions and furs seals from northern Patagonia harbour the intestinal helminth communities that could be predicted for otariids, i.e. the combination of species of the genera Corynosoma, Diphyllobothrium, Pseudoterranova, Contracaecum and, in pups, Uncinaria.
Transmission of Corynosoma australe (Acanthocephala: Polymorphidae) from fishes to South American sea lions Otaria flavescens in Patagonia, Argentina
TLDR
Data on the frequency of occurrence and number of other fish and cephalopod species in stomach contents strongly suggest that only R. brasiliensis may play a prominent role in the transmission of C. australe to the most important definitive host in the area, i.e. the South American sea lion Otaria flavescens Shaw.
First record of Corynosoma australe (Acanthocephala, Polymorphidae) parasitizing seahorse, Hippocampus sp. (Pisces, Syngnathidae) in Patagonia (Argentina)
TLDR
It could be claimed that Patagonian seahorse plays an accidental role as paratenic host to this helminth and potential paths of infection and dispersion of this parasite in the ecosystem of San Antonio Bay are discussed regarding the trophic relationships among crustaceans, fishes and marine mammals.
Two Species of Acanthocephala (Rhadinorhynchidae and Transvenidae) from Elasmobranchs from Australia
ABSTRACT: Acanthocephalan parasites, Serrasentis sagittifer, from a shark, Carcharhinus sorrah, and a species of Pararhadinorhynchus from a ray, Himantura granulata, are reported from Queensland,…
The taxonomy of some Poecilacanthoidea (Eucestoda: Trypanorhyncha) from elasmobranchs off the southern coast of Brazil
Abstract Specimens of elasmobranchs, collected in the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil, were parasitized with Poecilacanthoidea trypanorhynch cestodes. Sharks of the species Prionace glauca harboured…
A record of two species of Acanthocephala (Echinorhynchida: Rhadinorhynchidae) from Red Sea fishes, Yemeni coastal waters
TLDR
The occurrence of the above-named acanthocephalans represents their first record from the Yemeni fishes of the Red Sea.
Occurrence of acanthocephalans in notothenioid fishes in the Beagle Channel (Magellanic sub−region, sub−Antarctic)
TLDR
Fishes caught at two sites in the Beagle Channel were examined for the presence of thorny−headed worms and Patagonotothenioid fishes was the most highly infected in the eastern mouth of the channel, where Aspersentis johni was the dominant parasite species in this host.
Gorgorhynchoides bullocki (Acanthocephala: Rhadinorhynchidae) in Fish from Bahía de Chetumal and the Laguna Río Huach System, Quintana Roo, Mexico
TLDR
Cystacanths of G. bullocki were found to infect individuals of both species, but they were more prevalent in E. jonesii than A. stipes, and Scomberomorus maculatus are new host records for G. bullsocki for Quintana Roo and Mexico.
Corynosoma australe Johnston, 1937 and C. cetaceum Johnston & Best, 1942 (Acanthocephala: Polymorphidae) from marine mammals and fishes in Argentinian waters: allozyme markers and taxonomic status
TLDR
A high level of genetic differentiation between the two taxa was found, suggesting a generic distinction between theTwo species, C. australe and C. cetaceum.

TLDR
There is not evidence of changes in the parasite community along a latitudinal gradient, but at least Anisakis simplex (larvae) shows a trend in both, prevalence and mean intensity, increasing from north to south.

TLDR

TLDR
The adult form of Nybelinia (Syngenes) rougetcampanae Dollfus, 1960 is described, parasitizing one specimen of Sphyrna lewni, which amplifies their known geographical distribution and adds new host records for these parasites.

Phylogenetic analysis of the Digenea (Platyhelminthes: Cercomeria) with comments on their adaptive radiation
TLDR
The combination of larval and adult congruence in the absence of recapitulation, low levels of parallel evolution in morphology, and ecological diversification lagging far behind morphological change discounts traditional notions of adaptive radiations are considered.
