Maritrema is a genus of trematodes (flukes) in the family Microphallidae, although some have suggested its placement in the separate family Maritrematidae.[1] It was first described by Nikoll in 1907 from birds in Britain.[2] Species of the genus usually infect birds, but several have switched hosts and are found in mammals, such as the marsh rice rat.[3] Several species use the fiddler crab Uca pugilator as an intermediate host.[4]
Species include:
An undescribed species, "Maritrema sp. I", is known from clapper rails (Rallus crepitans) and marsh rice rats (Oryzomys palustris) in the eastern United States.[4] M. heardi was placed in a separate genus Floridatrema upon its description in 1994 on the basis of a morphological difference, but was reassigned to Maritrema in 2005, as molecular data indicated that Maritrema would be paraphyletic without the inclusion of the species.[1]

马蹄吸虫属（学名：Maritrema）为吸虫纲複殖亞綱斜睪目之下的一個屬。本屬的科，傳統來說被劃歸微茎科，但近年有文獻指本屬應該獨立出來自成一科[1]。本屬最初為Nikoll於1907年從雀鳥身上發現[2]。本屬物種一般都會感染鳥類，但亦有幾種轉變宿主，變為感染哺乳類動物，例如：稻大鼠[3]。有多個物種被發現以招潮屬的大西洋砂招潮（Uca pugilator）作為中間宿主[4]。
以下為本屬的已知物種：
有一個馬蹄吸蟲的物種被發現存在於美國東岸一種長嘴秧雞及稻大鼠的體內[4]。M. heardi在1994年於稻大鼠的腸道發現時，基於其形態被歸為Floridatrema屬；但在2005年研究的分子數據顯示，若這毎個物種不被包括，會令本屬變成了並系群[1]。
