| Abstract | This study aimed to report infection by metacercariae ofthe genera Posthodiplostomum Dubois, 1936
(Diplostomidae) and Herpetodiplostomum Dubois, 1936 (Proterodiplostomidae) in the gills of Oscar
Astronotus ocellatus Agassiz, 1831 (Cichlidae) from Lake Pracuúba, in the municipality of Pracuúba,
State of Amapá (eastern Amazonia), Brazil. Out of 202 A. ocellatus examined, 142 had gills infected by
metacercariae of Herpetodiplostomum sp. (prevalence= 70.3%) and Posthodiplostomum sp.
(prevalence= 59.4%). However, 97 hosts were infected by both metacercariae species (prevalence=
48.0%). A total of 1123 specimens of Herpetodiplostomum sp. and 463 specimens of
Posthodiplostomum sp. were collected and the mean intensity of infection was 7.8 ± 11.6 and 3.9 ± 4.4,
respectively. This is the first report of Digenea in A. ocellatus. | pt_BR |

Posthodiplostomum Dubois, 1936 (Diplostomidae) y Dubois Herpetodiplostomum, 1936
(Proterodiplostomidae) en las branquias del Astronotus ocellatus Agassiz, 1831 (Cichlidae) del lago Pracuúba, en
el Municipio de Pracuúba, Estado de Amapá, Brasil. De doscientos ejemplares de A. ocellatus examinados, 142
tenian las branquias infestadas por Herpetodiplostomum sp. (prevalencia = 70,3%) y por Posthodiplostomum sp.
(prevalencia = 59,4%). Sin embargo 97 hospederos fueron infestados por estas dos especies de metacercarias
(prevalencia = 48,0%). Del total de ejemplares de A. ocellatus examinados fueron extraidos 1.123 parasitos de
Herpetodiplostomum sp. y 463 parasitos de Posthodiplostomum sp., y la media de intensidad de la infestación fue
de 7,8 ± 3,9 y 11,6 ± 4,4, respectivamente. Este es el primer registro de Digenea en A. ocellatus. | pt_BR |
