The various species of Corydoras of importance in the Peruvian Amazon are currently used for histopathological studies among others. The objective of the study was to identify Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) pintoi and recognition of histopathological lesions in the intestinal tract present in Corydoras acutus, C, reticulatus y C. virginiae from Iquitos- Perú. The type of study is descriptive cross-sectional, where 30 adult specimens were used in each of the species, the ornamental fish were acquired from the “Mercado del Distrito de Belén”, Iquitos, which are extracted near to the Amazon River, to then be examined at the fish Parasitology Laboratory of the IIAP- Iquitos, and observed in phase contrast microscope obtaining images for the characterization of structures of P. (S.) pintoi. The histopathological analysis showed: Inflammatory cell infiltration (73.3%, 63.3% and 60%), enterocyte hyperplasia (90%, 70% and 63.3%), desquamation of epithelial cells (90%, 70% and 63.3%), goblet cell hyperplasia (76.7%, 66.7% and 50%) and necrosis (70%, 60% and 66.7%), in C. acutus, C. reticulatus and C. virginiae, respectively for each lesion. Finally, it is confirmed that P. (S). pintoi generates alterations in the area of the intestinal tract where it is lodges, however, the specimens did not show clinical signs of disease, since, the health condition factor (Fulton) is in the range 1.2 – 3.0 in parasitized fish.
