  abstract: Three hundred and seventy macrourids representing 15 species
  abstract: were examined for digenetic trematodes. Macrourids were
  abstract: collected from 34 stations in the northwestern to
  abstract: northeastern and southwestern Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean
  abstract: Sea between depths of 13 and 1,600 meters. The majority of
  abstract: macrourids examined had only been surveyed once before for
  abstract: heiminths and two host species herein have never been
  abstract: examined for parasites. Approximately 44.3% were infected
  abstract: with a total of 740 trematodes (mostly adult) representing
  abstract: seven families, 11 subfamilies, 15 genera and 36 species /
  abstract: morphs. The systematics of the digeneans in each family were
  abstract: described with taxonomic summaries and remarks concerning
  abstract: established species given. Three new genera and 13 new
  abstract: species were proposed. New keys were presented and
  abstract: established ones modified for some of the new species herein
  abstract: and a revision of the genera Allopodocotyle Pritchard, 1966,
  abstract: Apopodocotyle Pritchard, 1966, Neopodocotyloides Pritchard,
  abstract: 1966, Podocotyle Dujardin, 1845, and Podocotyloides Yamaguti,
  abstract: 1934, was suggested. In decreasing order, Opecoelidae,
  abstract: Ozaki, 1925. Hemiuridae Looss, 1899, Lepocreadiidae Odhner,
  abstract: 1905, and Fellodistomidae Nicoll, 1909, were the dominant
  abstract: families represented. Prevalence, intensity, mean intensity
  abstract: and relative density / abundance for each species were
  abstract: calculated and compared. Gonocerca phycidis Manter, 1925,
  abstract: appeared to dominate in these ecological parameters. Species
  abstract: richness and host specificity were discussed and compared to
  abstract: previous shallow and deep-sea studies. The relationship
  abstract: between parasite intensities and host characteristics such as
  abstract: sex, mouth position, diet and age were analyzed and
  abstract: discussed. Zoogeographical affinities both vertically in the
  abstract: water column and worldwide were examined. Numerous new host
  abstract: records and localities were recorded. Intrahost infection
  abstract: sites and parasite-induced damage to hosts were discussed.
  abstract: The most comprehensive listing to date of all known helminths
  abstract: from macrourids and their locations was also presented.
  abstract: Future avenues of study and discovery were offered. In
  abstract: summary, the identity and ecological characteristics of the
  abstract: trematodes found in this study appeared to mirror those of
  abstract: previous deep-sea parasite studies from the Gulf of Mexico
  abstract: and from other oceans around the world.
