Abstract(s)
O presente trabalho refere-se aos resultados de pesquisas helmintológicas realizadas em 1746 hospedeiros, incluindo 14 espécies de vertebrados terrestres, envolvendo a quase totalidade das espécies domésticas e selvagens da ilha de S. Miguel. Foram assinaladas 77 espécies respeitantes a NEMATODA, PLATYHELMINTHA e ACANTHOCEPHALA, a maioria das quais (65) pertencentes a NEMATODA. Nos PLATYHELMINTHA consideram-se as classes CESTODA e DlGENEA representadas por 8 e 2 espécies respectivamente. Quanto a ACANTHOCEPHALA inclui apenas 2 espécies. Com excepção de Fasciola hepatica L., 1758 e Strongylus vulgaris (Looss, 1800), todas as espécies são pela primeira vez assinaladas na região. A lista anotada é apresentada por hospedeiro e segundo ordem alfabética, referindo-se ainda a prevalência e localização dos parasitas, assim como as localidades da ilha em que os hospedeiros foram analisados.
ABSTRACT: The helminth fauna in 1746 hosts, comprising 14 different species, which included almost all species of domestic and wild terrestrial vertebrates from S. Miguel Island, were studied. Of the classes NEMATODA, PLATYHELMINTHA and ACANTHOCEPHALA, 77 species were identified; most of them (65) were NEMATODA. PLATYHELMINTHA including CESTODA and DlGENEA are represented by 8 and 2 species, respectively. ACANTHOCEPHALA includes 2 species only. Excluding Fasciola hepatica L., 1758 and Strongylus vuLgaris (Looss, 1800), all the reported species are new records for the Azores Archipelago. The checklist is presented according to host and in alphabetical order. Frequency of occurrence and site within the host, as well as the localities where the host animal occurred, are presented.
