Polymorphus ( Polymorphus) cetaceum Synthesium pontoporiae
In Brazil, helminths belonging to four groups and nine families have been recorded from six families of Cetacea ( Table 1). Only Anisakidae (Nematoda, Ascaridoidea) have been reported for all host families. In contrast, nematodes of the family Pseudalidae (Metastrongyloidea), three families of Digenea ( Brauninidae , Notocotylidae , Opisthorchiidae ), and one family of Cestoda ( Phyllobothriidae ) were reported in only one host family ( Table 1).
The helminth species with the highest number of records was Bolbosoma turbinella (Acanthocephala, Polymorphidae ), totaling 57 records. The larval stage of the cestode Phyllobothrium delphini ( Tetraphyllidea , Phyllobothriidae ) was recorded only one time in cetaceans from Brazil ( Ott & Danilewicz 1996).
