Abstract
Heart blood smears were made from 1677 fish of 81 species collected from the Florida Keys. Trypanosomes were found in 2 common triggerfish, Balistes capriscus Gmelin, from Key Largo. They are given the new species name Trypanosoma balistes. This is the first record of any trypanosome in this fish, and is believed to be also the first record of the occurrence of a trypanosome in the blood of any marine fish from Florida waters.
