The checklist was compiled from a literature search and from the results of the EC-funded HOMSIR project on stock structure of Trachurus trachurus. It consists of 68 different parasite taxa, 58 of which have been identified to species level, and includes 11 new host records and two possibly new species of myxosporean. The composition of the parasite fauna illustrates the importance of T. trachurus as an intermediate host for helminth parasites maturing in piscivorous fish and mammals.

Abstract
The checklist was compiled from a literature search and from the results of the EC-funded HOMSIR project on stock structure of Trachurus trachurus. It consists of 68 different parasite taxa, 58 of which have been identified to species level, and includes 11 new host records and two possibly new species of myxosporean. The composition of the parasite fauna illustrates the importance of T. trachurus as an intermediate host for helminth parasites maturing in piscivorous fish and mammals.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
