Information about the freshwater fish parasite diversity of cenotes in the Yucat\u00e1n Peninsula is scarce. Only 50 cenotes of the approximately 9,000 occurring in the peninsula have been sampled to assess the fish parasite fauna. Available information predates the molecular era and is based on morphological assessments solely. Here, specimens of 7 fish species were sampled in 15 localities distributed along an area known as the \u2018Ring of Cenotes\u2019, a depression associated with the Chicxulub crater formed by the impact of a meteorite. Trematode metacercariae were collected, sorted by morphotype, and sequenced for the partial 28S rRNA and\/or COI mtDNA genes. Twelve trematode metacercariae were identified, seven to species level and five to genus or family level, since they did not match any known sequenced species available in the BLAST search. Metacercariae corresponded to three families; Diplostomidae was the most diverse with eight taxa.

The importance of continually expanding the genetic library of larval trematodes and establishing links between adults and larval forms to fully assess and understand trematode diversity is discussed.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022149x2610234x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,2]],"date-time":"2026-10-02T07:13:06Z","timestamp":1790925186000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Revisiting the diversity of freshwater fish trematode metacercariae in cenotes (sinkholes) of Yucat\u00e1n: molecular characterisation and comments on their phylogenetic interrelationships"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"100","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-1204-4372","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"C.","family":"Mata-Marcano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Nacional Aut\u00f3noma de M\u00e9xico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4535-3902","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"L.","family":"Andrade-G\u00f3mez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Nacional Aut\u00f3noma de M\u00e9xico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5414-6329","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"B.","family":"P\u00e9rez-\u00d3rtega","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Nacional Aut\u00f3noma de M\u00e9xico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6472-5113","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"G.","family":"P\u00e9rez-Ponce de Le\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Nacional Aut\u00f3noma de M\u00e9xico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022149X2610234X_r10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01531204"},{"key":"S0022149X2610234X_r57","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/molbev\/msab120"},{"key":"S0022149X2610234X_r27","first-page":"41","volume-title":"The Cenotes of Yucatan; a Zoological and Hydrographic Survey","author":"Moore","year":"1936"},{"key":"S0022149X2610234X_r26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00436-021-07234-4"},{"key":"S0022149X2610234X_r9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022149X25000367"},{"key":"S0022149X2610234X_r16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0031182024000970"},{"key":"S0022149X2610234X_r25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/GCE.2010.5676129"},{"key":"S0022149X2610234X_r64","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022149X12000223"},{"key":"S0022149X2610234X_r22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biocon.2006.12.021"},{"key":"S0022149X2610234X_r12","first-page":"265","volume-title":"Cat\u00e1logo de Peces de la Costa Norte de Yucat\u00e1n","author":"Gallardo-Torres","year":"2014"},{"key":"S0022149X2610234X_r42","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1014923217206"},{"key":"S0022149X2610234X_r24","first-page":"267","article-title":"Monogeneans of freshwater fishes from cenotes (sinkholes) of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico","volume":"46","author":"Mendoza-Franco","year":"1999","journal-title":"Folia Parasitologica"},{"key":"S0022149X2610234X_r59","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022149X2510045X"},{"key":"S0022149X2610234X_r30","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.14411\/fp.2001.008"},{"key":"S0022149X2610234X_r41","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijpara.2009.10.004"},{"key":"S0022149X2610234X_r1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022149X25100473"},{"key":"S0022149X2610234X_r65","first-page":"165","volume-title":"Atlas of the helminth parasites of cichlid fish of Mexico","author":"Vidal-Mart\u00ednez","year":"2001"},{"key":"S0022149X2610234X_r14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ecy.3815"},{"key":"S0022149X2610234X_r38","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0031182021001748"},{"key":"S0022149X2610234X_r54","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00436-013-3457-5"},{"key":"S0022149X2610234X_r55","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btu033"},{"key":"S0022149X2610234X_r40","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/wej.12080"},{"key":"S0022149X2610234X_r20","first-page":"109","volume-title":"Capital Natural de M\u00e9xico, vol.
