Abstract AR

على مدى عامين من شهر كانون الثاني 1995 و حتى كانون الأول 1996، نفذ أول مسح لطفيليات الأسماك في منخفض بحر النجف، وسط العراق.

جمعت 6992 سمكة تعود إلى 11 نوعا و فحصت بحثا عن الطفيليات الخارجية و الداخلية.

كانت هذه الأسماك مصابة بثلاثة أنواع من الحيوانات الابتدائية (Ichthyophthiriusmultifiliis، Trichodina domerguei و Myxobolus pfeifferi) و نوعين من المخرمات أحادية المنشأ (Dactylogyrus cornu و Gyrodactylus elegans) و نوعين من المخرمات ثنائية المنشأ (Clinostomum complanatum و Ascocotyle coleostoma) و نوع واحد من الديدان الخيطية (Contracaecum sp.) و نوع واحد من الديدان شوكية الرأس (Neoechinorhynchus iraqensis).

سجلت خمسة أنواع من الأسماك مضيفات جديدة في العراق لأربعة أنواع من الديدان في الدراسة الحالية.

Abstract EN

During a period of two years, from January 1995 till December 1996, the first survey on fish parasites in Bahr Al-Najaf depression, mid Iraq, was achieved.

A total of 6992 fishes, belonging to 11 species, were collected and inspected for external and internal parasites. These fishes were infected with three protozoans (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, Trichodina domerguei and Myxobolus pfeifferi), two monogeneans (Dactylogyrus cornu and Gyrodactylus elegans), two digenetic trematodes (Clinostomum complanatum and Ascocotyle coleostoma), one nematode (Contracaecum sp.) and one acanthocephalan (Neoechinorhynchus iraqensis).

Five fish species were recorded as new hosts in Iraq for four helminth species of the present study.
