We analyzed parasitological data from 203 freshwater fish species across 17 orders and 44 families, predominantly representing the Leuciscidae and Cichlidae families. The analysis identified a total of 10 Posthodiplostomum metacercariae species, although several studies did not identify the parasites to the species level. In host fish, prevalence, intensity and abundance levels of Posthodiplostomum metacercariae ranging from low to high. The metacercariae typically infected the body surface, musculature, mesentery or abdominal cavity, and internal organs of fish hosts, causing pathological effects that ranged from tissue damages to mortality, particularly in fry and juveniles. Regarding geographical distribution, metacercariae of Posthodiplostomum minimum occur across North America, whereas Posthodiplostomum vancleavei, Posthodiplostomum ptychocheilus and Posthodiplostomum centrarchi range from Canada to the United States. Posthodiplostomum cuticola, P. centrarchi and Posthodiplostomum brevicaudatum are distributed from Europa to Asia, while Posthodiplostomum scardini is restricted to Europe. In the Neotropics, metacercariae of Posthodiplostomum nanum occurs across South America, while Posthodiplostomum macrocotyle spans both South and Central America. Finally, this study highlights key research gaps particularly regarding parasite identification, prevention and treatments strategies.","PeriodicalId":48990,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira De Parasitologia Veterinaria","volume":"35 3","pages":"e012226"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13671226/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149197308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most common clinical findings among seropositive animals were cachexia and poor body condition.

The present study aimed to evaluate the seroprevalence of T. gondii in two populations of C. flamarioni in coastal dune areas of southern Brazil with different degrees of anthropogenic disturbance. A total of 17 individuals were captured using Oneida Victor traps, including seven from a low anthropization area and ten from a highly anthropized area. In the field, blood samples were collected from the cranial vena cava, and the animals were released at their capture site. Serum samples were analyzed using an indirect hemagglutination assay. The overall seroprevalence was 41.2%, with similar values between areas: 42.9% (low anthropization) and 40.0% (highly anthropized).

A total of 34 fish were obtained from local fishermen, including 30 T. lepturus and four S. cavalla. The fish were necropsied and their internal organs were examined to identify parasites. Prevalence, abundance, and mean intensity of parasitic infections were calculated. In T. lepturus, the most prevalent (20%) nematode was Contracaecum sp., predominantly found in the coelomic cavity. In S. cavalla, the most frequently observed one (100% prevalence) was Hysterothylacium sp., with infections disseminated in the stomach, intestine, liver, and coelomic cavity. All identified parasites were documented for the first time in fish collected from this estuarine complex, CELMM, in Brazil, expanding their known geographical and ecological distribution. The presence of zoonotic parasites in commercially sold fish from CELMM poses a significant public health risk.
