      hematology and record of these hirudineans as potential vectors of these 
      hemoflagellates.

AB  - Among Kinetoplastida, the Trypanosoma is the genus with the highest occurrence 
      infecting populations of marine fish and freshwater in the world, with high 
      levels of prevalence, causing influences fish health and consequent economic 
      losses, mainly for fish populations in situation stress. This study investigated 
      infections of Hypostomus spp. by Trypanosoma spp. and leeches, as well as blood 
      parameters of this host in the network of tributaries of the Tapajos River in the 
      state of Para, in the eastern Amazon region in Brazil. Of the 47 hosts examined, 
      89.4% were parasitized by Trypanosoma spp. and 55.4% also had leeches attached 
      around the mouth. The intensity of Trypanosoma spp. increased with the size of 
      the host, but the body conditions were not influenced by the parasitism. The 
      number of red blood cells, and hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean 
      corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), 
      total number of leukocytes and thrombocytes showed variations and negative 
      correlation with the intensity of Trypanosoma spp. in the blood of the hosts. The 
      results suggest that the leeches were vectors of Trypanosoma spp. in Hypostomus 
      spp.
