What is The development of Neoechinorhynchus buttnerae (Eoacanthocephala: Neoechinorhynchidae) in its intermediate host Cypridopsis vidua in Brazil about?
## Abstract The family Neoechinorhynchidae includes seven species of__Neoechinorhynchus__from freshwater fishes of Brazil. Although several__Neoechinorhynchus__species are cited infecting different fish species in Brazil, there is a lack of information concerning to their life cycle and the identification of the intermediate hosts. Thus, the aim of the present study was to describe the development of__Neoechinorhynchus buttnerae__in its intermediate host collected in a fish farm located in Rio Preto da Eva, Amazonas, Brazil. To verify the presence of__N. buttnerae__in the fish pond, twenty__Colossoma macropomum__were captured and analyzed, being corroborated the presence of this parasite species. Samples of plankton were also collected, finding the ostracod__Cypridopsis vidua__as the intermediate host. For the description of the larvae development, a laboratory experimental procedure was conducted by feeding the collected ostracods with the eggs of the adult specimens taken from the sampled fish. To observe the stages of development an artificial hatch was performed. Every stage of development was photographed, measured, drawn and described. The time of development of the immature
