The present study provides the first record of an isopod parasite (Artystone trysibia) on Caquetaia spectabilis, a cichlid from the eastern Amazon collected in the State of Amapá, northern Brazil. In May 2018, specimens of C. spectabilis were collected in the lower Jari River, and 33.3% were parasitized by A. trysibia on the tegument tissue between pelvic fins. No hemorrhage or injury signals were observed in the tegument of the host. This study also expanded the distribution of A. trysibia to the eastern Amazon.
本研究首次记录了在美丽丽体丽鱼(Caquetaia spectabilis)上发现的一种等足类寄生虫(特氏阿蒂石虫,Artystone trysibia),美丽丽体丽鱼是一种丽鱼科鱼类,采自巴西北部阿马帕州的亚马逊河东部。2018年5月,在雅里河下游采集到美丽丽体丽鱼标本,其中33.3%在腹鳍之间的体表组织上被特氏阿蒂石虫寄生。在宿主的体表未观察到出血或损伤迹象。本研究还将特氏阿蒂石虫的分布范围扩展到了亚马逊河东部。
