As part of an ongoing inventory of the helminth parasites of freshwater fishes in Mexico, 570 individual fish were collected between Apr 2008 and Oct 2011 in 26 localities along the Cuatro Ciénegas region in Coahuila State, northern Mexico. Seventeen species of hosts, mostly corresponding to Nearctic freshwater elements, were studied. A total of 8324 individual worms were collected during this survey, representing 25 species of helminths, of which 9 were digeneans, 3 monogeneans, 3 acanthocephalans, 9 nematodes and 1 cestode. Most of the records in this checklist represent new host or locality records. The information provided in this checklist may be helpful for our understanding of the biodiversity and historical biogeography of this host-parasite system, because in the Cuatro Ciénegas region occur a Nearctic freshwater fish fauna, along with Neotropical and endemic elements, and from a biogeographical point of view, this may represent a transitional area.
作为墨西哥淡水鱼蠕虫寄生虫现有清查工作的一部分，2008年4月至2011年10月期间，在墨西哥北部科阿韦拉州夸特罗谢内加斯地区的26个地点收集了570条个体鱼。研究了17种宿主，大多属于新北区淡水生物。此次调查共收集到8324条个体蠕虫，分属于25种蠕虫，其中9种为复殖吸虫，3种为单殖吸虫，3种为棘头虫，9种为线虫，1种为绦虫。本清单中的大多数记录代表新的宿主或地点记录。本清单提供的信息可能有助于我们了解该宿主 - 寄生虫系统的生物多样性和历史生物地理学，因为在夸特罗谢内加斯地区既有新北区淡水鱼类区系，又有新热带区和特有生物成分，从生物地理学角度来看，这可能代表一个过渡区域。
