Based on published records and new data accumulated by the authors, we generated a list of the helminth parasites of marine mammals from off the coast of Argentina. We found 49 reports of helminths parasitizing cetaceans and pinnipeds from Argentina from 1952 to 2015. The list includes 54 taxa of helminths (8 acanthocephalans, 24 nematodes, 11 cestodes and 11 trematodes) associated with 18 species of cetaceans and 5 species of pinnipeds. Most of the records represent adults (5 acanthocephalans, 16 nematodes, 6 cestodes and 11 trematodes), followed by larvae (10 nematodes and 3 metacestodes) and juveniles (4 acanthocephalans and 2 cestodes). The checklist contains 24 named species (5 acanthocephalans, 8 nematodes, 4 cestodes and 7 trematodes) and 30 undetermined helminth taxa (3 acanthocephalans, 16 nematodes, 7 cestodes and 4 trematodes). The present account contains a parasite/host lists and information on the habitat, developmental stage and distribution of the parasites listed, repositories of their type and voucher specimens and references. A host-parasite list is also presented. The data compiled on the helminth of marine mammals from Argentina in the present study revealed gaps in the knowledge of their taxonomic identification, composition, distribution, host specificity and life cycles. These gaps are also briefly discussed in order to provide an outline for future research.
基于已发表的记录以及作者积累的新数据，我们列出了一份来自阿根廷海岸外海洋哺乳动物的蠕虫寄生虫清单。我们发现了1952年至2015年间关于阿根廷鲸类和鳍足类动物寄生蠕虫的49份报告。该清单包括与18种鲸类和5种鳍足类动物相关的54种蠕虫分类单元（8种棘头虫、24种线虫、11种绦虫和11种吸虫）。大多数记录代表成虫（5种棘头虫、16种线虫、6种绦虫和11种吸虫），其次是幼虫（10种线虫和3种中绦期幼虫）和幼体（4种棘头虫和2种绦虫）。该清单包含24个已命名的物种（5种棘头虫、8种线虫、4种绦虫和7种吸虫）以及30个未确定的蠕虫分类单元（3种棘头虫、16种线虫、7种绦虫和4种吸虫）。本报告包含一份寄生虫/宿主清单，以及关于所列寄生虫的栖息地、发育阶段和分布、其模式标本和凭证标本的存放处及参考文献的信息。还列出了一份宿主 - 寄生虫清单。本研究中汇编的关于阿根廷海洋哺乳动物蠕虫的数据揭示了在其分类鉴定、组成、分布、宿主特异性和生命周期等方面的知识空白。为了为未来的研究提供一个框架，还简要讨论了这些空白。
