Disease caused by the parasitic helminths Dactylogyrus spp. results in significant economic damage to the aquaculture industry. Treatment using common chemicals (e.g. formalin) is usually dissatisfactory due to environmental problems, risk of residues, toxicity to fish, and the possibility of anthelmintic resistance. The search for an alternative drug is thus becoming more urgent. This study wa...

The Caspian frisian roach (Rutilus frisii kutum), economically a very important fish species in Iran, is propagated in fishponds, reared into the rivers in fingerling size and then harvested from the Caspian Sea in adult stage. We found six monogenean parasites on the Caspian frisian roach including five Dactylogyrus spp. on fingerlings cultured in fishponds and rivers and two Dactylogyrus spp....

Ectoparasites which often attack tilapia include Trichodina sp., Dactylogyrus spp., Gyrodactylus and Epistylis spp. This research aims to determine the types, prevalence, intensity of ectoparasites found on (Oreochromis niloticus) in floating net cages Batanghari River, Jambi. The was conducted from February through March 2020. A survey method is carried out direct sampling at study site identi...

The aim of this study which was carried out from March 2003-February 2004 was to determine the parasites of carp (Cyprinus carpio L., 1758) inhabiting the Kovada Lake. During the study, a total of 63 common carps were caught in different regions of Kovada Lake each month and investigated parasitologically. In carps, the ectoparasite, Dactylogyrus minutus of Monogenea, was found and endoparasite...
