In mustelids and in wild and domestic carnivores (DH), the adult parasite is usually located in the right kidney, like this the eggs can be eliminated with the urine. In the environment the eggs request an incubation period in half aquatic, needing to be ingested by IH (an annelid oligochaetes parasite of fish) for if they turn infectantes (L3), that it can be ingested by a host paratênico (fish, crab) or for HD. This paper reports the occurence of D. renale in two dogs assisted in the Veterinary Hospital in the Guarapuava city, PR.
