Summary: Abstract: The tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) is a species of great economic importance for fish farming in the Brazilian Amazon, and acanthocephaliasis caused by Neoechinorhynchus buttnerae (Golvan 1956) represents an obstacle to its production due to it causing severe morphological damage to the intestinal mucosa, thus impairing the absorption of nutrients and causing weight loss in the fish. Resumo: O tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) é uma espécie de grande importância econômica para a piscicultura na Amazônia brasileira, e a acantocefalose causada por Neoechinorhynchus buttnerae (Golvan 1956) representa um obstáculo à sua produção por causar severos danos morfológicos à mucosa intestinal, prejudicando a absorção de nutrientes e causando perda de peso nos peixes.
