GABRIEL-LUCIANO, María Verónica  and  URIBE-CORTE, Jaime. Helminthological Characterization of Kind Cyprinid Algansea lacustris in Three Different Areas of Lake Pátzcuaro, Michoacán, Mexico. Tecnol. cienc. agua [online]. 2015, vol.6, n.6, pp.75-87. ISSN 2007-2422.

In the different waters bodies of the country are endemic fish species. The treatment has given them for the care, maintenance and production, either for consumption or for sale at various scales, has been branded variations in many cases produced parasitic symptoms, the lake of Pátzcuaro is no exception. Because of the importance posed to human and fish species own health, this study aimed at determining the helminthfauna in three study areas of Lake Pátzcuaro arises. San Andres Tzirondaro, Oponguio and Pudcuaro: methodologically, an analysis of parasites in acúmara Algansea lacustris was performed. This method allowed to quantify and identify the various helminths. A total of five species more an ectoparasite, belonging to six groups were recorded: Nematodes (Capillaria patzcuarensis) Flukes (Posfhodiplostomum minimum), cestodes (Bothriocephalus acheilognathi) Acantocephalo (Arritmorrynchos brevis), monogenean (Octomacrum mexicanum) and the ectoparasite Arthropod (Lernea cyprinacea). So it is concluded that due to the life cycle, fish parasites contract because of the feces of birds that are formed in the host, in addition, the lack of maintenance of lake areas, among other factors.
