Ascarophis is a genus of parasitic nematodes, belonging to the family Cystidicolidae. Species of Ascarophis are parasitic as adults in the gastrointestinal tract of marine and estuarine fishes. [1][2]

Species

According to the World Register of Marine Species,[2] the genus currently (2019) includes many species. A few are listed here:

  • Ascarophis arctica Polyansky, 1952
  • Ascarophis ayalai Caballero, 1975
  • Ascarophis beryx Kataitseva, 1979
  • Ascarophis brasiliensis Pinto, Vicente & Noronha, 1984
  • Ascarophis capelanus Nikolaeva & Naidenova, 1964
  • Ascarophis carvajali Muñoz & George-Nascimento, 2007

  • Ascarophis distorta Fusco et Overstreet, 1978 [4][5]
  • Ascarophis morrhuae Van Beneden, 1871 [1] (Type-species) a parasite of the Atlantic cod Gadus morhua.

Several subgenera have been proposed, with the following species:

The Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua, is the host of Ascarophis morrhuae
