Abstract

Descreve-se a espécie Trypanosoma guairaensis sp. n. parasita de Megaloancistrus aculeatus do rio Paraná (reservatório de Itaipu). Características morfométricas como comprimento e largura do núcleo e comprimento da parte livre do flagelo, bem como os valores do índice nuclear, diferenciam T. guairaensis de todas as espécies de tripanosomas descritas para peixes de água doce do Brasil.It is described Trypanosoma guairaensis sp. n. parasitizing Megaloancistrus aculeatus taken from Paraná river (Itaipu reservoir). Morphometric characters such as length and width of the nucleus, length of the free flagellum and nuclear index values show that T. guairaensis is different from all the trypanosome species so far described for fresh water fishes from Brazil.
