Cavisoma magnum is a species of parasitic worm in the phylum Acanthocephala.

Cavisoma magnum (Southwell, 1927) Van Cleave, 1931 was originally described as Oligoterorhynchus magnus by Southwell [1] from the stomach and pyloric ceca of the sea bass, Serranus sp. (Serranidae) and from another fish, the spotted surgeonfish Ctenochaetus strigosus (Acanthuridae) off Negapatam, (Sri Lanka).

Hosts and localities

Other hosts include milkfish Chanos chanos (Chanidae) [2][3] , Siganus lineatus (Siganidae),[4] and Grey mullet, Mugil cephalus (Mugilidae).[3] Localities include Sri Lanka, the Red Sea, the Philippines , New Caledonia, and Iraq.[3]
