Nematodes
The nematodes ( or ; ; ), roundworms or eelworms constitute the phylum Nematoda. Species in the phylum inhabit a broad range of environments. Most species are free-living, feeding on microorganisms, but many are parasitic. Parasitic worms (helminths) are the cause of soil-transmitted helminthiases. They are classified along with arthropods, tardigrades and other moulting animals in the clade Ecdysozoa. Unlike the flatworms, nematodes have a tubular digestive system, with openings at both ends. Like tardigrades, they have a reduced number of Hox genes, but their sister phylum Nematomorpha has kept the ancestral protostome Hox genotype, which shows that the reduction has occurred within the nematode phylum. Nematode species can be difficult to distinguish from one another. Consequently, estimates of the number of nematode species are uncertain. A 2013 survey of animal biodiversity suggested there are over 25,000. Estimates of the total number of extant species are subject ...

Raphidascarididae
Raphidascarididae is a family of roundworms (also known as nematodes) in the order Ascaridida. It encompasses nine genera Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial s ... (including '' Hysterothylacium'', which parasitize marine fish, and '' Raphidascaris'') and over 190 species.

Hysterothylacium Analarum
''Hysterothylacium'' is a genus of parasitic roundworms in the family Raphidascarididae. As of 2020 it consists of over 70 species and is considered one of the largest of the ascaridoid genera parasitising fish. Ecology Species in the genus complete their life cycle between predatory teleost Teleostei (; Ancient Greek, Greek ''teleios'' "complete" + ''osteon'' "bone"), members of which are known as teleosts (), is, by far, the largest group of ray-finned fishes (class Actinopterygii), with 96% of all neontology, extant species of f ... fish as their final host and various species of invertebrates and teleost as their intermediate hosts. These parasites are not host specific in the larval stages and infect a broad range of fish species; thus they are widely distributed throughout the aquatic ecosystem and exhibit a global distribution. '' Hysterothylacium aduncum'' infection in fish has been associated with mechanical damage to the heart, eye and fish musculature which occurs ...

Ascaridomorpha
Ascaridomorpha is an infraorder of parasitic roundworms in the order Rhabditida Rhabditida is an order of free-living, parasitic and microbivorous nematodes living in soil. The Cephalobidae, Panagrolaimidae, Steinernematidae, and Strongyloididae seem to be closer to the Tylenchia, regardless of whether these are merg ....
