Abstract

This study was conducted to identify intestinal Trematod parasites. The helminthes fauna were collected from body cavity and intestines of 108 specimens of Brachirus orientalis which were obtained from Abadan port (waterfront) during the years 2009-2010. Most of the two species of Trematods were found in the intestine and body cavity of the examined fish. The Trematods found were Lepocreadioides zebrine and Allocreadium brachirusii in the intestine. The general prevalence of Lepocreadioides was 58 and 73% respectively in the intestine. Both of the parasite species found in this study have been reported for the first time from Iran.
