Abstract

Effect of freezing and chilling on the metacercariae of Haplorchis pumilio and Prohemistomum vivax infecting the fresh water fish (Tilapia nilotica and Clarias lazera) in Assuit province is studied. Test of the viability of the metacercaiae was done not only by microscopic examination but also by experimental infection in albino rats. Chilling of Tilapia nilotica and Clarias lazera at (4 oC) for 24 hr and 48 hr, respectively has ended the viability of metacercariae of Prohemistomum vivax and Haplorchis pumilio. Exposure of infected fishes of both species to freezing at (-10 oC) for 24 hr has proved to be lethal to the metacercariae of both Prohemistomum vivax and Haplorchis pumilio.
