First report of Linguadactyloides brinkmanni (Monogenoidea: Linguadactyloidinae) on hybrids of Colossoma macropomum x Piaractus brachypomus (Characidae) from South America.
This study presents the first report of infection by Linguadactyloides brinkmanni Thatcher & Krytsky, 1983 (Monogenoidea, Dactylogyridae, Linguadactyloidinae) on the gills of hybrid tambatinga (Colossoma macropomum x Piaractus brachypomus) from fish farms from the city of Macapá, state of Amapá, Brazil. Out of 201 hybrid tambatinga examined, ten were infected by L. brinkmanni (prevalence= 4.9%). From these hosts, 21 specimens of L. brinkmanni were collected and the mean intensity of infection was 2.1 (1-4 parasites/host). This study expands the distribution of this monogenoidean for a new host.
