Abstract EN

For two years, from January 1995 till December 1996, a survey on helminth parasites of aquatic birds of Bahr Al-Najaf depression, mid Iraq, was achieved.

A total of 663 birds, belonging to 11 species, were captured and examined for helminth parasites.

These birds were infected with seven trematodes (Notocotylus gibbus, Cyclocoelum mutabile, Echinostoma chloropodis, Patagifer parvispinosus, Psilochasmus oxyurus, Diplostomum spathaceum and Apharyngostrigea cornu), seven cestodes (Paricterotaenia porosa, Dicranotaenia tsengi, Diorchis brevis, D.

inflatus, Tatria acanthorhyncha, T.

decacantha and Diplophallus polymorphus) and four nematodes (Capillaria sp., Eustrongylides tubifex, Contracaecum sp.

and Tetrameres sp.).

Five bird species were recorded as new hosts in Iraq for four helminthes of the present investigation.
