Online databases were queried for records of parasite species described or reported from deep-sea hydrothermal vent ecosystems. Deep sea hydrothermal vent sites (1055-3650m depth) from N. Pacific, S. Pacific, N. Atlantic, and Indian Oceans.
All papers reporting vent parasites were read and their citations searched for mention of additional species. Data on the parasite and host were recorded from the publication, including collection metadata and taxonomic details of the host and parasite.
