Abstract:
Infections by the acanthocephalan Telosentis exiguus (Von Linstow, 1901) and another unknown acanthocephalan were studied in the sand smelt Atherina boyeri (Risso, 1810) from the Tirso River mouth in Sardinia. Only a few specimens of T. exiguus (1 male and 2 cystacanths) were found in the host digestive tract; some larvae of an unidentified acanthocephalan encysted in the liver of A. boyeri were also found and are described.
