abstract
Brazilian wildlife birds constitute a group in which the parasite-host relationship still needs to be investigated. Several studies about the identification of new parasites or about the description of new hosts have been published. The present study describes the occurrence of Contracaecum pelagicum Johnston & Mawson 1942 (Nematoda, Anisakidae) in a new host, Sula leucogaster Boddaert 1783 (Pelecaniformes, Sulidae), species commonly known as brown-booby
