Resumen:
Despite their ecological importance, research on symbionts of amphipods has been limited inSouth America. The present study provides a comprehensive overview of symbiont organisms inthe freshwater amphipods of the genus Hyalella in South America. Our findings reveal various taxasuch as Apicomplexa, Microspora, Peritrichia, Folliculinidae, trematodes, nematodes, cestodes andacanthocephalans, often involving complex life cycles. Studies on symbionts have been done almostexclusively in Argentinean Patagonia. The present overview allows us to know the species that useamphipods, to elucidate their lifecycles and to know their occurrence values.
