Abstract: 
  • The present study aims to identify the helminth fauna of Spheniscus magellanicus Foster, 1781 from the municipality of Ilha Comprida, southern São Paulo State. A total of 28 individuals were analyzed, resulting in an identification of three helminth species: Contracaecum pelagicum Johnston & Mawson, 1942, Cardiocephaloides physalis Sudarikov, 1959 and Tetrabotrium lutzi Parona, 1901. Contracaecum pelagicum and C. physalis were core species, while T. lutzi was considered a satellite species. All individuals examined were infected with at least one species (overall prevalence = 100%). The host specimens were all juveniles and the infection may be associated with food items eaten during migration to the Brazilian Coast.
  • Este estudio tuvo como objetivo identificar los helmintos parásitos de Spheniscus magellanicus Foster, 1781 de la municipalidad de Ilha Comprida, a lo largo de la costa sur de Sao Paulo, Brasil. Un total de 28 individuos fueron analizados, dando como resultado la identificación de tres especies de helmintos: Contracaecum pelagicum Johnston & Mawson, 1942, Cardiocephaloides physalis Sudarikov, 1959 y Tetrabothrium lutzi Parona, 1901. Contracaecum pelagicum y C. physalis se caracterizan como especies core, mientras que T. lutzise considera una especie satélite. Todos los individuos examinados estaban infectados con al menos una especie, con una prevalencia del 100%. Los especímenes hospedadores fueron todos juveniles y el patrón de la infección puede estar asociado con la alimentación durante la migración a la costa brasileña.
