Abstract
ABSTRACT: Nerocila fluviatilis Schiœdte and Meinert 1881 (Isopoda, Cymothoidea, Cymothoidae) is reported for the first time for a new host order of host, Mugil liza Valenciennes, 1836 (Actinopterygii, Mugiliformes, Mugilidae). Fish were collected in a coastal Atlantic lagoon in eastern Uruguay, Laguna de Rocha, and parasites were consistently restricted to the surface of caudal, anal, and paired fins. All stages of N. fluviatilis were found. Data on prevalence (6%), mean intensity of infestation (5.2), and size are provided for the first time for all stages of N. fluviatilis. An updated account of the geographic distribution and hosts of the isopod is given.
期刊介绍：
Comparative Parasitology (continuing the Journal of the Helminthological Society of Washington in its 67th volume) focuses on parasitological research of a comparative nature, emphasizing taxonomy, systematics, ecology, biogeography, evolution, faunal survey, and biological inventory within a morphological and/or molecular context. The scope of Comparative Parasitology extends to all parasitic faunas, including helminths, protistans and arthropods.
