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.
