Description

Podocotyle is a genus of digenetic trematodes in the family Opecoelidae, comprising species that are parasitic in marine fishes. These flukes are known for their distinctive body plan, which includes an elongated shape and two suckers, with the oral sucker being used for feeding and attachment. The life cycle of Podocotyle species involves complex interactions with intermediate and definitive hosts, often culminating in transmission through the consumption of infected fish by predatory species.
