Hoplias aff. malabaricus Bloch, 1794 (Characiformes: Erythrinidae) parasites
ABSTRACT: Aquatic organisms are a subject of great interest because of their nutritional value and their high availability as human food. As a result, an increasing number of studies are being conducted on potentially harmful aquatic organisms such as aquatic parasites that compromise host health, as well as affect public health by zoonosis. A balance between the characteristics of healthy and diseased states in fish infected by parasitic fauna is dependent on parasite-host-environment interactions. Here, we have compiled a bibliographical review of the general aspects and epidemiology of the parasites of Hoplias aff. malabaricus Bloch, 1794, a widely distributed and consumed fish species in Brazil.
