| Abstract |
The zebrafish, Danio rerio, is an important vertebrate model organism across various scientific disciplines. The current study reports the nematode larva, Eustrongylides sp., presence, in zebrafish from a pet shop, acquired by Fundação Oswaldo Cruz for toxicity studies. Morphological and molecular data from this nematode are given herein, contributing to the understanding of this helminth and aiding future studies. The occurrence of this larva demonstrates the importance of controlling the management of D. rerio, since this fish is widely used as an experimental model. |
