Herein, we study the gastrointestinal helminths of 28 juvenile green sea turtles found stranded on the north coast of Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. All turtles were infected showing a rich helminth fauna. In total, 14802 trematodes belonging to 30 species and 5 families including Micros-caphidiidae, Plagiorchiidae, Pronocephalidae, Hapalotrematidae, and Telorchiidae were recovered. An unidentified nematode specimens was also found. The mean intensity was 536 (95% CI = 362 \u2013 853) (range: 1 \u2013 2831), and the species richness was 7.86 (95% CI = 6.46 \u2013 9.21) (range: 1 \u2013 17).

This study confirms that the green sea turtle harbors the richest helminth fauna among sea turtle species and provides useful information on the gastrointestinal helminths of a poorly known stage in the life cycle of this endangered chelonian.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2478\/helm-2023-0021","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,22]],"date-time":"2023-09-22T17:53:54Z","timestamp":1695405234000},"page":"196-200","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Helminth Fauna of Juvenile Green Sea Turtles (<i>Chelonia mydas<\/i>) from Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil"],"prefix":"10.2478","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"B.","family":"Cavaco","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CIISA \u2013 Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Animal Health, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine , University of Lisbon , Portugal"},{"name":"Associate Laboratory for Animal and Veterinary Sciences (AL4AnimalS)"}]},{"given":"L.
