| Abstract The literature review concerning the parasites of fishes from Salah Al-Deen province indicated the occurrence of 84 parasite species which included six ciliophorans, 21 myxozoans, 17 monogeneans, six trematodes, nine cestodes, ten nematodes, five acanthocephalans, two annelids and eight arthropods. These were recorded from 21 fish species, among which 18 fish species belonged to the family Cyprinidae. Number of parasite species recorded ranged from one species in Alburnus caeruleus, A. capito and Mastacembelus mastacembelus to 19 species in Barbus grypus. Forty-nine parasite species were monoxenous as such species were reported from a single host each, while one parasite species (Myxobolus pfeifferi) was reported from a maximum number of 10 host species. All parasites, as well as their hosts, are verified with the recent systematic accounts and full taxonomic account is given for the so far recorded parasites. | ||
