- The dominant parasites found were ectoparasites, especially isopod larvae, with species richness ranging from 9 to 23, similar to other Lutjanus species.
- While species composition varied, overall species richness and diversity remained stable over time, influenced by host traits and environmental changes, including the effects of La Niña.
Eight specimens of were collected from four localities of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, of which four specimens were infected with cestodes of two new species of . differs from congeners by a combination of characters including the size of the scolex and bothridia, length of the cephalic peduncle, length of the axial and abaxial prongs and total length of the abaxial prongs of the hooks, size of the cirrus sac and testes in mature proglottids, and the total number of proglottids.
