Bimonthly samplings were carried out in two permanent ponds in the Riachuelo basin, one of the most important effluents of the Paraná River. A total of 237 fishes have been collected from February 1987 to February 1989. Six species of parasites were found: i) Nematoda: Spirocamallanus inopinatus (Travassos, Artigas and Pereira, 1928) Petter, 1979, and larvae of Contracaecum sp.; ii) Crustacea: Argulus aff. violaceus Thomsen, 1925, Dolops aff. bidentata Bouvier, 1899, D. aff. carvalhoi Lemos de Castro, 1949 and Braga fluviatilis Richardson, 1911. Species composition of the infracommunity helminths of fish between each pond was always low and similar. At first, it could be related to biotic and abiotic components of lenitic environments and to predator-prey interactions.
