Summary: | Notocotylus breviserialis has been collected from Anas bahamenis L. and
Amazonetta brasiliensis (Gmelin), in Marica, State of Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil. It is the first time that this digenean is collected as adult
in its natural hosts, and this is its first record for the Neotropical
region. The prevalence of N. breviserialis was 5.56% and 18.18% in A.
bahamensis and in A. brasiliensis, respectively. New morphological data
about the location of the vitelline glands and previtellinic space
measurements are presented. |
