English Abstract

During April 2015 to the end of October 2015, a total of 72 freshwater fishes belonging to three species from family Cyprinidae (Chondrostoma regium, Garra rufa and Squalius lepidus) were captured from some watersheds of Sharbazher area in the northeast of Sulaimani city, Kurdistan Region, Iraq.

The study revealed the existence of three species of monogeneans belonging to the genus Paradiplozoon.

These included P.

amurense from gills of S.

lepidus, P.

bingolensis from the gills of G.

rufa, and P.

vojteki from gills of C.

regium.

The record of P.

bingolensis in the present study is considered as the first record in Iraq, and P.

amurense in Kurdistan Region.

Also, Chondrostoma regium was regarded as a new host in Iraq for P.

vojtek.
