Summary The side-necked turtle Hydromedusa tectifera commonly inhabits the tributary streams of the Rio de La Plata and occasionally is found in brackish waters within the estuary of the Rio de La Plata. Few studies have been conducted on its parasitic fauna, especially in Argentina. In the present work Amphiorchis sp. is registered for the first time in a freshwater turtle, expanding the knowledge about the specificity of the genus that until now was considered inhabiting only marine turtles.

Amphiorchis (Digenea: Spirorchiidae) 是海龟的专属寄生虫吗？

总结 侧颈龟 Hydromedusa tectifera 通常栖息在拉普拉塔河的支流中，偶尔也会在拉普拉塔河口的咸水中发现。对其寄生动物群进行的研究很少，特别是在阿根廷。在目前的工作中，Amphiorchis sp。首次在淡水龟中注册，扩大了对该属的特殊性的认识，该属迄今为止被认为只栖息在海龟中。
