ABSTRACT Brachyplatystoma vaillantii is a large migratory catfish widely distributed in the Amazon basin, but its parasitic fauna still poorly known. As it an important fishery resource region of Amazonas River estuary, aim this study was to investigate parasite community B. from tributary estuary system, Brazil. We examined 31 juvenile fish, which 80.6% were parasitized, and total 586 parasite...

The anther smut fungi in the ustilaginomycetous genus Antherospora (Floromycetaceae, Urocystidales) that infect monocots, are currently placed in nine species. Against the background of the generally observed high host specificity in smut fungi, the broad host range reported for some of the species suggests much higher diversity. Antherospora vaillantii s. lato includes anther smuts on differen...

The isoquinoline alkaloids protopine, cryptopine, sinactine, stylopine, bicuculline, adlumine, parfumine, fumariline, fumarophycine, fumaritine, dihydrofumariline, parfumidine and dihydrosanguinarine have been determined and identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in Fumaria agraria, F. bastardii, F. capreolata, F. sepium, F. densiflora, F. faurei, F. officinalis subsp. officinalis, ...

ABSTRACT The migratory catfish Brachyplatystoma vaillantii is one of the most important fishery resources in Amazon. Intense capture occurs associated to its life cycle. In order know genetic status, we sequenced mitochondrial DNA control region from 150 individuals B. vaillantii, collected five fishing landing locations, covering length Solimões-Amazonas River Brazil. Genetic diversity paramet...
