Abstract
Contracaecum jorgei was recently described as a new anisakid species from the Argentine wolffish Hoplias argentinensis. This study aimed to report a new host and locality for C. jorgei and highlight inconsistencies in some Contracaecum spp. deposits based on sequence comparisons. Through morphometric analyses and comparative analyses of genetic sequences in GenBank, using a locus from the cytochrome oxidase subunit 2 gene, present specimens were identified as C. jorgei. Misidentified sequences of Contracaecum spp. were also observed and discussed. Thus, C. jorgei is reported for the first time in the Brazilian common snook Centropomus undecimalis, expanding the reports and, consequently, its geographic distribution in the Neotropical region.
期刊介绍:
The Brazilian Academy of Sciences (BAS) publishes its journal, Annals of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (AABC, in its Brazilianportuguese acronym ), every 3 months, being the oldest journal in Brazil with conkinuous distribukion, daking back to 1929. This scienkihic journal aims to publish the advances in scienkihic research from both Brazilian and foreigner scienkists, who work in the main research centers in the whole world, always looking for excellence.
Essenkially a mulkidisciplinary journal, the AABC cover, with both reviews and original researches, the diverse areas represented in the Academy, such as Biology, Physics, Biomedical Sciences, Chemistry, Agrarian Sciences, Engineering, Mathemakics, Social, Health and Earth Sciences.
