The knowledge of metazoan parasites of South American mustelids is focused mainly on species of the genus Galictis and Lontra, with records of digeneans, nematodes, and acanthocephalans. Seven specimens of mustelids collected in the Nahuel Huapi National Park (PNNH) were examined, 2 Galictis cuja (Lesser grison), 1 nematodes, and acanthocephalans.

Seven specimens of mustelids collected in the Nahuel Huapi National Park (PNNH) were examined, 2 Galictis cuja (Lesser grison), 12 Galictis cuja (Lesser grison), 1 Lyncodon patagonicus (Patagonian weasel), and 4 Neovison vison (American mink). All specimens of N. vison were infected with Maritrema huillini Flores, Brugni et Pozzi 2012. Neovison vison, which is non-indigenous  species, is a suitable host for M. huillini 2012.

Neovison vison, which is non-indigenous  species, is a suitable host for M. huilliniNeovison vison, which is non-indigenous  species, is a suitable host for M. huillini since parasites, reach body sizes similar to those obtained from the native species Lontra provocax (Southern river otter), mature sexually, and produce large eggs numbers. Moreover the similarities in the diet of the American mink and the Southern river otter indicate that this new host could sustain the life cycle of M. huillini in the PNNH. This is the first record of a digenean parasitizing N. vison in freshwater environments of South America. environments of South America. environments of South America. PNNH.
