A total of 156 toothcarp was investigated. Trichodina modesta Lom, 1970 was the only trichodina species recovered. Overall infestation prevalence (%), mean intensity and abundance values were 97.4%, 182.7 +/- 22.4 parasites per infested fish, and 178.0 +/- 22.0 parasites per examined fish, respectively. Infestation prevalence, mean intensity and abundance values in relation to sampling months, fish size, and sex were also determined and discussed.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessaphanius danfordiiCiliophoraCyprinodontidaeTrichodina modestaTurkeyArticle4141-442543254910.1080/00222930701739724Q3WOS:000252053600001Q3
