Description
1. Introduction Derived from the Amazon basin (Gomiero and Braga, 2004b), Cichla piquiti Kullander and Ferreira, 2006 (" tucunare"), introduced into other Brazilian hydrographic basins such as Parana-Paraguai, Sao Francisco and others in northeastern Brazil, has a great importance in the region due to its flesh quality (Gomiero and Braga, 2004a) showing fast adaptation to hydroelectric reservoirs (Takemoto and Pavanelli, 1996; Gomiero and Braga, 2004b). A strong reason for its study is supported by their being preferred in sport fishing (Kitamura et al., 2002). However the consequence of the introduction of this host on the parasites populations or communities structure is not known, and commonly it is pointed as responsible by great damages, especially to the native populations, with which it starts to live together (Gomiero and Braga, 2004b)
