| dc.description.abstract | In the present study, the occurrence of invasive Asian tapeworm Bothriocephalus acheilognathi in different fish species from Bafra fish lakes, the Lower Kızılırmak Delta, Turkey, was investigated. A total of 1329 fish specimens of Cyprinus carpio, Vimba vimba, Carassius gibelio, Scardinius erythropthalmus, Neogobius fluviatilis, Proterorhinus marmoratus, Pomatoschistus marmoratus, Mugil cephalus, Liza aurata, Sander lucioperca, Aphanius danfordii, Gambusia affinis, Gasterosteus aculeatus, Atherina boyeri, Cobitis taenia and Syngnatus acus belonging to 10 different families were examined. Routine parasitological investigation procedures were applied to fish specimens. The number of cestode recovered from each fish species was counted and infection prevalence (%) and mean intensity values (number ± standard.error) were calculated. B. acheilognathi was recorved from the intestine of C. carpio, V. vimba, C. gibelio, N. fluviatilis, Pr. marmoratus, S. lucioperca, A. danfordii, G. affinis and A. boyeri. C. carpio (26.72% and 16.66 ± 2.39) and V. vimba (20% and 5.88 ±1.85) had the highest infection prevalence and mean intensity values among all infected fish. This research study revealed that C. gibelio, Pr. marmoratus, S. lucioperca, A. danfordii and G. affinis are the new host records for B. acheilognathi in Turkey. | |
