Abstract:

This communication is the first report of
the nematode Eustrongylides ignotus from Panama. The parasite was collected mainly from the lateral musculature and intestinal mesenteries of peacock bass (cichlid) Cichla ocellaris, caught by sport fishermen. The nematode showed a preference for larger female fish. |
