This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Luque, José L., Muniz-Pereira, Luís C., Siciliano, Salvatore, Siqueira, Liege R., Oliveira, Magda S., Vieira, Fabiano M.

Abstract

Based on published records and unpublished information retrieved from the Helminthological Collection of the Oswaldo Cruz Institute (CHIOC), a checklist of the helminth parasites of cetaceans from Brazil was generated. A total of 215 records of 18 species of helminths were associated with 22 species of cetaceans in Brazil. Six species determined only to genus were also included. The majority of these helminth species are nematodes (33.3%) and trematodes (33.3%), which total 66.6% of the helminth fauna of cetaceans from Brazil. The Acanthocephala represents 22.2% of species, and the Cestoda 11.1%.
