Anotace
The nematode parasite Huffmanela huffmani Moravec, 1987 (Trichosomoididae) infects swimbladders of fishes in the family Centrarchidae. Only fish collected from the upper San Marcos River (Texas) have been found infected with H. huffmani eggs with a prevalence of 90%. Hundreds of thousands of H. huffmani eggs have been observed in these fish but only a few specimens of adult worms have ever been found. The restriction of the parasite to the upper San Marcos River and the high prevalence of the parasite eggs in centrarchids would seem to enable one to solve the life cycle of H. huffmani but this has proved false. This study of H. huffmani includes a description of the habitat, the known limits of geographic distribution of the parasite, possible dispersal processes, egg characteristics, the testing of a possible intermediate host, Palaemonetes antrorum (Benedict) (Decapoda: Palaemonidae), and the effects of the digestion process on H. huffmani eggs
