The smooth puffer Lagocephalus laevigatus records ten species of helminths, of which nine have not been reported for the species, which makes them new records. Cestodes and trematodes register the highest values of abundance. Larval stages of the genus Nybelinia sp. and Scyphophyllidium sp. Bianium plicitum is re-registered in L. laevigatus. The nematode Hysterothylacium aduncum presents a high level of individuals with low values of prevalence and medium intensity, while Hysterothylacium sp. record the highest prevalence. The acanthocephalan larvae (cistacants) show high levels of prevalence (45.16%). This is the first work that reports the helminth fauna of L. laevigatus in the locality of Chachalacas and the Gulf of Mexico.
