- Abstract
A helminthological examination was carried out on 14 specimens of Eucinostomus melanopterus (flagfin mojarra) and 19 Eugerres plumieri (striped mojarra), of which a total of 461 helminths were collected. As a result, and 12 taxa were registered (five species, five genus and tow family), as follows: four monogeneans, five digeneans (four adults, one metacercaria), one cestode (larva) and tow nematodes (larvae). The highest prevalence was for Neodiplectanum mexicanum (29%) infecting E. melanopterus and Aristocleidus hastatus (37%) infecting E. plumieri. Both hosts shared 50% of recorded species, and none of the identified helminthes represents a zoonotic risk.
