Abstract

The purpose of this study was to provide a comprehensive updated list of published and unpublished records of monogeneans, digeneans, cestodes, acanthocephalans, and nematodes parasitizing snappers (Lutjanidae) in the Caribbean (CAR), Gulf of Mexico (GOM), and Mexican Pacific (MP). We incorporated data from bibliographic research, as well as new data derived from a fish health survey performed by the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute in the northern GOM. The number of helminth taxa in snappers from CAR, GOM, and MP was 171 (80 digeneans, 27 monogeneans, 11 cestodes, 11 acanthocephalans, and 42 nematodes) from 26 host species. The digeneans Stephanostomum casum, Hamacreadium mutabile, Helicometrina nimia, and Siphodera vinaledwardsii, the monogenean Euryhaliotrema tubocirrus, and nematode larvae of Cucullanidae and Philometridae families were the most commonly reported helminths. Lutjanus griseus hosted the highest number (72) of helminth species. This information provides a reference for future parasitological studies.
