Larvae of Hysterothylacium use various invertebrates as intermediate hosts. Definite hosts include fish, birds, reptiles or marine mammals. This study describes the occurrence of Hysterothylacium (Nematoda, Anisakidae) larvae parasitizing the pericardic cavity of Diplodon suavidicus (Unioniformes, Hyriidae) specimens collected in the Amazon basin, Brazil. This is the first record of this nematode parasitizing freshwater bivalves in South America. The high prevalence, medium intensity and medium abundance suggest that D. suavidicus acts as intermediate host for Hysterothylacium species in that environment.
旋尾目幼虫利用各种无脊椎动物作为中间宿主。确定的宿主包括鱼类、鸟类、爬行动物或海洋哺乳动物。本研究描述了在亚马逊盆地采集的 Diplodon suavidicus（Hyriidae 类 Unioniformes）标本的心包腔中寄生的旋尾目（Nematoda，Anisakidae）幼虫的发生情况。这是该线虫寄生南美的淡水双壳类动物的第一个记录。高流行率、中等强度和中等丰度表明，D. suavidicus 在该环境中充当旋尾目物种的中间宿主。
