contents Molecular characterization of three digeneans parasitizing marine fish in the Gulf of Thailand. Suwannarat, Nannaphat Gilardoni, Carmen Ribas, Alexis Miquel, Jordi Poonlaphdecha, Srisupaph The Gulf of Thailand is a highly diverse marine ecosystem, yet knowledge of its helminth fauna remains fragmentary. Marine fishes were obtained in 2024 from accidental catches of crab-trap fishers or captured by local fishermen using boats in Chumphon Province, Thailand. In this study, we molecularly characterize three digenean trematode genera parasitizing marine fishes from this area: (Hemiuridae) from the short mackerel (), with a prevalence of 77% in 22 fishes and ten worms examined for morphology; (Lepocreadiidae) from , with a prevalence of 18% in 22 fishes, and from , with a prevalence of 100% in one fish, with 10 worms examined for morphology; and (Lepocreadiidae) from the double-lined tonguesole (), with a prevalence of 75% in four fishes, and eight worms examined for morphology. Sequences of nuclear ribosomal markers (18S, ITS2, and 28S) were generated, providing the first molecular data for . Our analyses confirm the presence of and sp. in the Gulf of Thailand, contribute new molecular data, and provide a morphological description of sp. Despite the Gulf of Thailand's high ichthyofaunal diversity, its helminth communities remain insufficiently investigated, highlighting the need for future research.
