Huffmanela
''Huffmanela'' is a genus of parasitic nematodes, belonging to the family Trichosomoididae. Morphology As other nematodes, species of ''Huffmanela'' are elongate and vermiform. They are especially thin and small. The male is smaller than the female. The stichosome is composed of a single row of stichocytes (glandular cells). The advances eggs contain larvae and have strongly pigmented, dark, often conspicuously thick walls comprising three layers, and polar plugs. Biology Nematodes of the genus ''Huffmanela'' are all parasites of fishes. They infect various tissues (skin, mucosa, musculature, swimbladder wall, intestine wall, and even within the bones) of elasmobranchs (sharks) and bony fishes. The life cycle of the marine species is not known. Females lay eggs in the host's tissues at a very early stage and eggs continue to develop after being laid. Eggs usually occur as masses in the tissues of the hosts, occurring frequently as conspicuous black spots in the flesh or oth ...

Huffmanela Hamo
''Huffmanela hamo'' is a parasitic nematode.Justine, J.-L. & Iwaki, T. 2014: ''Huffmanela hamo'' sp. n. (Nematoda: Trichosomoididae: Huffmanelinae) from the dagger-tooth pike conger ''Muraenesox cinereus'' off Japan. Folia Parasitologica, 61, 267–271Free PDF It has been observed in the muscles of the dagger-tooth pike conger ''Muraenesox cinereus'', a muraenesocid marine fish off Japan. Its life-cycle is unknown. Description The adults are unknown, only the eggs were described. The parasite was detected by the presence of small black spots, 1–2 mm in diameter, in the flesh (muscles) of fish; these black spots are accumulations of eggs. The eggs are 66–77 μm (mean 72 μm) in length and 33–38 μm (mean 35 μm) in width. The surface of the eggs is smooth and bears neither envelope nor filaments. The nematode was differentiated from other members of the genus ''Huffmanela'' by the dimensions of its eggs and the characteristics of their surface. It is the single ''H ...

Huffmanela Ossicola
''Huffmanela ossicola'' is a parasitic nematode. It has been observed in the branchial arch bone and the spinal cord bone (as well as others) of the labrid marine fishes ''Bodianus loxozonus'', ''Bodianus busellatus'' and ''Bodianus perditio'' caught off New Caledonia. This is the first species of ''Huffmanela'' reported from bone tissue. Its eggs are only available for the continuation of the life-cycle after the host's death. Description The adults are unknown; only the eggs were described. The eggs are large, 72–88 micrometers in length and 32–40 micrometers in width, with a thick shell. Each egg is covered with numerous filaments enclosed in a thin envelope.

Huffmanela Branchialis
''Huffmanela branchialis'' is a parasitic nematode It has been observed on the gills of the fork-tailed threadfin bream ''Nemipterus furcosus'', a nemipterid marine fish off New Caledonia. Its eggs are released from the gill mucosa with the turnover of living tissues and immediately continue their life-cycle. Description The adults are unknown, only the eggs were described. The eggs are 45–52 micrometers in length and 23–30 micrometers in width, with thin shells. Each egg is enclosed in a thin membrane forming a spindle-shaped envelope 53–85 micrometers in length.

Trichosomoididae
The ''Trichosomoididae'' is a family of nematodes. Morphological characteristics The Trichosomoididae, as most nematodes, have an elongate body, vermiform and covered with a cuticle. There is often a cuticular ornamentation in form of cephalic vesicles or bosses. They are 'aphasmidian' nematodes, i.e. they have no phasmids. The Trichosomoididae are small, with sometimes a marked sexual dimorphism, the female being larger than the male. In some cases, the male lives permanently or penetrates deeply in the female uterus. The body is slightly thicker in the posterior end. The anterior part of the oesophagus is short, its posterior part is surrounded by glandular cells called stichocytes, arranged in chain. The spicule and spicular sheath are absent or vestigial in the male. The female has its vulva near the end of the oesophagus and its anus is terminal. Females are oviparous; eggs are thick-shelled, with plugs on both poles. Eggs are embryonated when laid or laid at very earl ...

František Moravec (parasitologist)
František Moravec (born 1 January 1939) is a Czech parasitologist who specialises on the Nematodes, especially the nematodes parasites of fishes. His research is mainly in the field of taxonomy of the Nematoda. Education and career Moravec was born on 1 January 1939 in Velká Bystřice. He was in high school in Olomouc then was a student in the Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic (at that time Czechoslovakia). For his Masters in 1962, he studied the parasitic worms of reptiles of Czechoslovakia. After graduation, he worked at the Institute of Parasitology of the Czech Academy of Sciences in České Budějovice, and in 1970 completed his thesis on nematodes parasites in fish. He is a world authority on Nematodes, especially their systematics and biology. Research Among the most important works by Moravec, Tomáš Scholz mentions his revision of the genera '' Rhabdochona'' and '' Anguillicola'', and also his clarification of the family Capillariidae, for which he propose ...
