Considering the lack of studies on freshwater fishes of the genus Colomesus, we conducted a survey the parasite fauna of Colomesus tocantinensis collected from the Tocantins River, Brazil. We first recorded the presence of the ectoparasites Ergasilus colomesus and Lernaea sp. where 96.77% of the fish were parasitized.
鉴于对 Colomesus 属淡水鱼类的研究较少,我们对采自巴西托坎廷斯河的 Colomesus tocantinensis 寄生虫区系进行了调查。我们首次记录了外寄生虫 Ergasilus colomesus 和 Lernaea sp. 的存在,其中 96.77%的鱼被寄生虫感染。
