Maritrema
''Maritrema'' is a genus of trematodes (flukes) in the family Microphallidae, although some have suggested its placement in the separate family Maritrematidae. It was first described by Nikoll in 1907 from birds in Britain. Species of the genus usually infect birds, but several have switched hosts and are found in mammals, such as the marsh rice rat. Several species use the fiddler crab ''Uca pugilator'' as an intermediate host. Species include: *'' Maritrema acadiae'' (Swales, 1933) *'' Maritrema arenaria'' Hadley and Castle, 1940Tkach et al., 2005, table 1 *'' Maritrema bonaerensis'' Etchegoin and Martorelli, 1997Etchegoin and Martorelli, 1997, p. 710 *'' Maritrema carpathica'' Matskasi, 1984 *'' Maritrema chiriacae'' Deblock, 1975 *'' Maritrema feliui'' Gracenea, Montoliu and Deblock, 1993 Tkach et al., 2005, p. 11 *'' Maritrema gratiosum'' Nikoll, 1907Nikoll, 1907, p. 266 *'' Maritrema heardi'' (Kinsella and Deblock, 1994) *'' Maritrema humile'' Nikoll, 190 ...
