In this paper, the metazoan parasite community system of Capoeta damascina in the Tigris basin (Mesopotamian region) in the Middle-East is presented. Overall, 54 species have been identified. Between 2005 and 2008, Iranian surveys of Capoeta damascina found a total of 47 metazoan parasites species, most identified to species level. In addition, 6 parasite species from Iraq and 1 species from oc...

the present study investigated the effects of acute toxicity of malathion on behavioral and haematological parameters in the cyprinid capoeta damascina . the specimens were collected from the kordan river, karaj, iran in august, 2014 and were exposed to different concentrations of malathion at the laboratory (24, 48, 72 mg l ‑1 ) based on 96h-lc (10; 30; 50; 90) which was 6.08 (5.22-7.18) mg l ...
