Cucullanus Explained

Cucullanus is a genus of parasitic nematodes.[1] [2] The genus includes more than 100 species.[1] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

Among the species, Cucullanus cirratus is a parasite of cod.[8] Cucullanus genypteri is a parasite of the pink cusk-eel, Genypterus blacodes.[9]

Two species known as C. pybusae and C. stelmoides were discovered in 1978 inhabiting the liver and intestines of the American brook lamprey.[10]
