Some studies demonstrate elevated parasitic levels causing hematological alterations. But few of them relate the effects of parasitism on the hematology and histopathology of native freshwater farmed fish. This study evaluated the host-parasite relationship in pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) parasitized by the monogenean Anacanthorus penilabiatus. Hematological and parasitological assessments were obtained in 60 fish captured in a fish farm located in Dourados, State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Central Brazil. Fish were analyzed in different categories of parasite number: class I (n=13; 0-200 parasites), class II (n=17; 201-1200 parasites); class III (n=7; 1201-2200 parasites); and class IV (n=23; more than 2200 parasites per host). The highest levels of parasitism caused significant decrease (p&lt;0.05) in the hematocrit, red blood cells (RBC), mean hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and basophils number. Thrombocytes, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), monocytes, eosinophils, neutrophils and LG-PAS did not present significant difference among the parasitic levels. In contrast, increased number of total leukocytes and lymphocytes were found in highly-parasitized fish. A positive linear correlation (p&lt;0.01) was found between the amount of parasites and fish weight. Histopathology revealed severe hyperplasia, sub-epithelial edema, fusion of the secondary lamellae, focal and multifocal necrosis in highly parasitized fish.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/1519-6984.09513","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,21]],"date-time":"2015-01-21T22:08:47Z","timestamp":1421878127000},"page":"1000-1006","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Haematological and histopathological analysis in South American fish Piaractus mesopotamicus parasitized by monogenean (Dactylogyridae)"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"74","author":[{"given":"GT","family":"Jer\u00f4nimo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Santa Catarina \u2013 UFSC, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"SB","family":"P\u00e1dua","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rua Antonio Ernesto C\u00e9lico, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D","family":"Bampi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Santa Catarina \u2013 UFSC, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"ELT","family":"Gon\u00e7alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Santa Catarina \u2013 UFSC, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P","family":"Garcia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Santa Catarina \u2013 UFSC, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"MM","family":"Ishikawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EMBRAPA, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"ML","family":"Martins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Santa Catarina \u2013 UFSC, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Infec\u00e7\u00f5es parasit\u00e1rias e par\u00e2metros sangu\u00edneos em Arapaima gigas Schinz, 1822 (Arapaimidae) cultivados no estado do Amazonas, Brasil","first-page":"389","author":"ARA\u00daJO CSO","year":"2009","edition":"(Eds.)"},{"issue":"6","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"699","DOI":"10.1590\/S0074-02761995000600008","article-title":"Neotropical monogenoidea. 25.
