| Abstract | ||
| During the period from October 2007 to April 2008, a total of 114 specimens of five cyprinid fish species were collected from Tigris river passing through Tikreet city, Salah Al-Deen province. These fishes were examined for monogenean parasites belonging to the family Diplozoidae. The following parasites were recorded with their percentage incidence of infection: Diplozoon barbi from both Cyprinion macrostomum (4.2%) and Cyprinus carpio (18.2%), Diplozoon paradoxum from C. macrostomum (2.1%), Paradiplozoon bliccae from both C. macrostomum (13.7%) and C. carpio (18.2%) and Paradiplozoon pavlovskii from Chondrostoma regium (25%), C. macrostomum (12.6%) and C. carpio (9.1%). Both Barbus barbulus and Capoeta trutta were negative for parasites. The occurrence of Paradiplozoon bliccae in the present study is considered as a new record in fishes of Iraq. Full description with measurements of this parasite were demonstrated. Also, two hosts were recorded for two parasites in Iraq. | ||
