Helminth parasites of Madeiran rockpool fishes, with a redescription of Schikhobalotrema longivesiculatum Orecchia & Paggi, 1975 (Digenea: Haplosplanchnidae), and some comments on their zoogeographical relationships. Syst Parasitol 38, 73–79 (1997). https://doi.org/10.1023/A:1005833826648http://hdl.handle.net/10400.13/4768Seven species of Madeiran rockpool fishes were examined for their helminth parasites. Only two of these harboured helminth parasites. The most frequently encountered parasite was the digenean Schikhobalotrema longivesiculatum Orecchia & Paggi, 1975 from Parablennius parvicornis; this species is redescribed and discussed. The paucity of the parasite fauna of Madeiran rockpool fishes and the zoogeographical relationships of the digenean fauna of Madeiran marine fishes are commented upon.engMarine sishHelminth parasiteParasite faunaDigenean faunaSchikhobalotrema longivesiculatum Orecchia & PaggiMadeira (Portugal).Faculdade de Ciências da Vidajournal article10.1023/A:1005833826648
