Checklist dos parasitos do peixe Lua (Mola mola: Molidae) no mundo

Due to the scarcity of works related to parasitism in the world, it is important to carry out a bibliographic review of scientific articles, dissertations and theses in databases and journals that are easily accessible to students and researchers about the occurrence of parasites in M. spring between the years of 1904 2017. A species of fish popularly known as moon fish (Mola mola: Molidae) has been found in every ocean in the world. Parasitism may be one of the next causes of family sweeping in Brazil, since there are a number of reduced scientific reports of occurrences of M. mola species. The studies made it possible to find parasitic occurrence in M. mola in the five phyla and in the five continents, of which there was a higher parasitic occurrence in Europe in the Platylhelminte (n = 28), Arthopoda (n = 15) and Nematoda (n =1), and in America the phyla Acanthocephala (n = 1), Platylhelmintes (n = 27) and Arthopoda (n = 15), Oceania
