a total of 128 spiny eels mastacembelus mastacembelus (mastacembelidae) were collected from thegreater zab river at iski kalak town, west of erbil city, kurdistan region, iraq, from july 2007 to the end ofjune 2008. the fish were examined for ecto and endo parasites. the study revealed the existence of 16species of parasites (with a total prevalence of 89.06%) including: two species of protozoa...

The metazoan parasite fauna of Hippoglossina macrops (n = 123) from northern Chile (30 degrees S) is quantitatively described for the first time, and the role of host age and sex was evaluated. Twelve parasite species were recovered, including 5 ectoparasites (2 Monogenea, 2 Copepoda and 1 Piscicolidae) and 7 endoparasites (1 Digenea, 3 Cestoda, 2 Acanthocephala, and 1 Nematoda). The copepod Ho...

Mosquitoes play an important role in the transmission of many diseases as vectors several pathogens: viral, parasitic, etc. which cause health problems to humans and even animals. The analysis specific composition Culicidae different larval sites province Sidi Slimane shows first all that each habitat has a particular faunistic characteristic. Indeed, six species Culicinae family were inventori...

For species at risk of extinction, any parasites they have would be expected to face a similar fate. In such cases, time is running out for efforts to identify and study their parasitic fauna before they are gone. We surveyed the hemoparasite fauna of 50 black-chested, spiny-tailed iguanas (Ctenosaura melanosterna), a critically-endangered species, on an island off the coast of Honduras. Blood ...

Soils collected from 28 canola fields in Malkara, Süleymanpaşa, Muratlı, Hayrabolu, and Ergene districts of Tekirdağ were examined for the determination nematode fauna. In soils taken 0-60 cm depth each field, genera nematodes recovered by modified Baermann Funnel method. Of these, eight bacterivores, three fungivores, five omnivores, predators, rest plant-parasitic species. Nematodes survey ar...

Mexico has a long history of parasitological studies in communities of vertebrates. However, the mega diversity of the country makes fauna inventories an ongoing priority. Presently, there is little published on the parasite fauna of gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus Schereber, 1775) and this study provides new records of parasites for gray foxes in central Mexico. It is a continuation of a ...

The paper reviews all the reports concerning parasitic fauna of three species carps cultured in Al-Furat fish farm, Babylon province, mid Iraq. These fishes included common carp (Cyprinus carpio), grass (Ctenopharyngodon idella) and silver (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) as well mullet (Liza abu) found same farm. 60 valid parasite species: ten protozoans, myxozoans, 29 monogeneans, one trematode,...

in order to identify the plant parasitic nematodes of pulse fields in northern khorasan province, 41 soil and root samples were collected from rhizosphere of pisum sp., phaseoulus sp., lens sp. during 2011 and 2012. the nematodes were extracted by combined sieving and centrifugal-flotation method of jenkins (1969) and transferred to glycerin by using method of de grisse (1969). the permanent sl...
