AB  - The present study describes Trypanosoma spp. infection and blood parameters in 
      Pterygoplichthys pardalis from the Tapajos River basin in eastern Amazon 
      (Brazil). Of 32 fish examined, 40.6% were infected by Trypanosoma spp., while a 
      total of 112 trypomastigotes were found. Two Trypanosoma morphotypes were 
      characterized and compared with species described in literature infecting other 
      Loricariidae, and a similarity of 94% was found with one species described for 
      another host. The plasma glucose and aspartate aminotransferase levels, 
      hematocrit, number of total erythrocytes, mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean 
      corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) in the infected and uninfected fish 
      were similar, but hemoglobin was lower in fish infected with Trypanosoma spp. 
      Hemoglobin levels declined with the abundance of the hemoparasites, but the 
      condition factor was similar among fish infected and uninfected by Trypanosoma 
      spp. This is the first study on the hemoparasitism by Trypanosoma spp. and blood 
      parameters in P. pardalis.
