Data on trematode life cycles, fish host distribution, transmission, and fish and snail infection are reported in this review. European freshwater trematodes of the genus Sanguinicola (Aporocotylidae) remain an insufficiently studied group of trematodes. Five species of Aporocotylidae (Sanguinicola armata, S. inermis, S. intermedia, S. volgensis, and S. rutili) in freshwater fish of Europe are described. In addition, they have been found in the water bodies of Central Asia and West Siberia (Ob-Irtysh River basin). The life cycle allowing us to assign the cercariae and adults to a certain species is known only for S. armata, S. inermis, and S. rutili. Trematodes of the genus Sanguinicola are found in 26 fish species assigned to 7 families and 4 orders and 24 gastropod species assigned to 7 families. With few exceptions, the sanguinicolid infection of fish and snails is rather low in the natural water bodies.
