Abstract (EN)

In this study, the presences of Ligula intestinalis plerocercoid fauna of some fish species (Cyprinus carpio, Carassius gibelio, Barbus plebejus, Capoeta tinca, Chondrostoma nasus, Leuciscus cephalus, Alburnus escherichii) from Kunduzlar Dam Lake, Turkey were investigated between August 2008 and May 2009. In the end of the study, Ligula intestinalis plerocercoid was identified in the body cavity of 3 host fishes (Chondrostoma nasus %1.1, 5.0±0, Leuciscus cephalus %12.1, 1.5±0,6, Alburnus escherichii %71.5, 3.0±2.1). From these fish species, C. nasus is a new host record for L. intestinalis plerocercoids in Asia Minor. In addition, minimum-maximum and mean intensity of parasites and infection prevalence were determined using seasonal, sex and size distribution of the each host fish species.
