Se identificaron helmintos gastrointestinales de los cetáceos Cephalorhynchus eutropia y Phocoena spinipinnis que accidentalmente quedaron atrapados en redes de enmalle frente a la costa de Queule, Chile, entre 1989 y 1990. Pseudoterranova sp., Polymorphus (Polymorphus) cetaceum y Synthesium tursionis ocurrieron en ambos cetáceos. Además, se encontraron Anisakis sp. y Braunina cordiformis en C. eutropia, y se identificó Anisakis simplex en P. spinipinnis. Las especies con la mayor prevalencia e intensidad media de infección en P. spinipinnis y C. eutropia fueron P. (P.) cetaceum y B. cordiformis, respectivamente. La dieta de ambos cetáceos consiste principalmente en peces.
Gastrointestinal helminths of the cetaceans Cephalorhyncus eutropia and Phocoena spinipinnis accidentally entangled in gillnets off the coat of Queule, Chile, were identified from 1989 to 1990. Pseudoterranova sp., Polymorphus (Polymorphus) cetaceum and Synthesium tursionis ocurred in both cetaceans. Additionally, Anisakis sp. and Braunina cordiformis were found in C. eutropia, and Anisakis simplex wasidentified from P. spinipinnis. The species with the highest prevalennce and mean intensity of infection in P. spinipinnis and C. eutropia were P. (P.) cetaceum and B. cordiformis, respectively. The diet of both cetaceans consists mainly of fishes.
