The Phylum Protozoa brings together several organisms evolutionarily different that may act as ecto or endoparasites of fishes over the world being responsible for diseases, which, in turn, may lead to economical and social impacts in different countries. Apart from the recent advances for the diagnosis of fish diseases in Brazil, little is known on the protozoan parasites and their relationship with environment and host. This revision presents the most important protozoan parasites found in farmed fish from Brazil, not only with emphasis on its diagnosis, biology, transmission and host-parasite relationship, but also on some information that may be useful to researchers in determining the correct diagnosis in fish farms.
原生动物门汇集了几种进化上不同的生物，它们可能是世界各地鱼类的外寄生虫或内寄生虫，引发疾病，进而可能在不同国家造成经济和社会影响。除了巴西在鱼类疾病诊断方面的最新进展外，人们对原生动物寄生虫及其与环境和宿主的关系知之甚少。本综述介绍了在巴西养殖鱼类中发现的最重要的原生动物寄生虫，不仅着重于其诊断、生物学、传播和宿主-寄生虫关系，还包括一些可能有助于研究人员在养鱼场进行正确诊断的信息。
