          Abstract

          This study characterises morphologically Trichodina heterodentata Duncan, 1977 from channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque, 1818) in the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil. Body and gill smears were air-dried at room temperature, impregnated with silver nitrate and/or stained with Giemsa. Ten characteristics were selected to compare the present material with other morphological characterisations of T. heterodentata. Prevalence rate was 100%, mean intensity 89,333.70 (3,125 to 299,100 parasites per host). Trichodina heterodentata was considered medium-sized trichodinid with mean body diameter 59.4 ± 8.5 μm, denticulate ring 38.5 ± 4.5 μm, adhesive disc 60.2 ± 6.7 μm diameter and 24.4 ± 1.6 denticles. In relation to previous reports of T. heterodentata this material resembles in 90% of the analysed characters. This work confirms the biometrical variation that exists in the different populations of T. heterodentata. A list of hosts and comparative measurements of T. heterodentata are presented and the channel catfish is considered a new host.

          Este estudo caracteriza morfologicamente Trichodina heterodentata Duncan, 1977 em bagre-do-canal, Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque, 1818) no Estado de Santa Catarina, Brasil. Esfregaços do corpo e brânquias foram secados à temperatura ambiente, impregnados com nitrato de Prata e/ou corados com Giemsa. Dez características foram selecionadas para comparar o presente material com as diferentes caracterizações morfológicas de T. heterodentata. A taxa de prevalência foi de 100%, a intensidade média foi de 89.333.75 (3.125 a 299.100 parasitos por hospedeiro). Trichodina heterodentata foi considerado um tricodinídeo de tamanho médio com a média do diâmetro do corpo de 59,4 ± 8.5 μm, anel denticulado 38,5 ± 4,5 μm, disco adesivo 60,2 ± 6,7 μm de diâmetro e 24,4 ± 1,6 dentículos. Em relação a registros prévios de T. heterodentata, 90% das características foram semelhantes. Este trabalho confirma a variação biométrica que existe em diferentes populações de T. heterodentata. Uma lista de hospedeiros e medidas comparativas de T. heterodentata são apresentadas e o bagre-do-canal considerado um novo hospedeiro.
