Abstract

Three species of fish (Oreochromis niloticus, Clarias lazera and Lates niloticus) were collected from Qena, Upper Egypt during the period from April, 2012 to the end of March, 2013. Upon their inspection, of 6 of ectoparasites species were recovered 3 monogeneans (Cichlidogyrus arthracanthus, Euryhaliotrema lovejoyi and Dactylogyrus spp.), two crustaceans (Lamproglena monody and Ergasilus sarsi) and one protozoan (Henneguya assuiti). The overall prevalence of infection was 12.03% and the highest peak was observed in O. niloticus with 19.4% (14/72) and the lowest percent was recorded in L. niloticus with 5.6% (4/72). Also, seasonal dynamics among the examined fish were recorded.The study revealed the occurrence of one monogenean trematode; Euryhaliotrema lovejoyi for the first time in Upper Egypt.
