Abstract
The histological alterations of the hepatopancreas of Farfantepenaeus aztecus, caused by the cysts of the cestode Guilquinia are presented. The damage found in the hepatopancreatic tissue includes an encapsulation produced by leukocytes, fibroblasts and the depositation of collagen like fibers. The characteristic tubules of the hepatopancreas appear eroded, reduced in size, stain more intensely basophilic than normal, and are frequently incorporated into the cyst wall and destroyed. This represents the first report for Gilquinia parasitizing the brown shrimp in the Gulf of Mexico.
