The intestinal helminths most frequently infecting 522 Little Sioux River and 255 Lower Gar Lake carp (Cyprinus carpio) were Khawia iowensis, Pomphorhynchus bulbocolli, and Capillaria catostomi. Prevalence and mean intensity of K. iowensis were significantly higher in Little Sioux River than in Lower Gar Lake carp. Prevalence and mean intensity of P. bulbocolli and mean intensity of C. catostomi were significantly higher in Lower Gar Lake than in Little Sioux River carp. During 1979–1981, the prevalence and mean intensity of K. iowensis were highest in summer 1979 and summer 1980. Pomphorhynchus bulbocolli and C. catostomi were nonseasonal in prevalence and mean intensity. All three helminths were overdispersed within the carp population. Khawia iowensis usually occurred in the anterior third of the carp gut. Capillaria catostomi was found throughout the intestine, but most worms occurred in the posterior quarter of the gut in light infections. Pomphorhynchus bulbocolli exhibited a preference for the posterior third of the intestinal tract. Significant correlation coefficients were calculated between carp length and prevalence and (or) mean intensity of Little Sioux River K. iowensis and P. bulbocolli. Male and female carp had similar prevalences and mean intensities of each parasite species.

Abstract A total of 958 specimens of farmed common carp Cyprinus carpio from eight of the most significant and largest cyprinid aquaculture facilities in Macedonia (pond and cage culture systems) were examined for parasitological investigation for three years. The following parasite species of the genus Dactylogyrus were identified: Dactylogyrus extensus, Dactylogyrus minutus and Dactylogyrus anchoratus. The highest prevalence was determined for D. extensus (38.8%), followed by D. minutus (7.9%) and D. anchoratus (2.8%). The highest mean intensity was determined for D. extensus (6.2), followed by D. minutus (4.7) and D. anchoratus (3.8). By seasons, the highest prevalence (16.5%) was recorded for D. extensus in winter, while the lowest (0.6%) for D. minutus in autumn. The highest mean intensity (8.0) was also determined for D. extensus in winter, and the lowest (1.9) for D. minutus in spring.

The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of parasites of the class Cestoda in farmed common carp from the cyprinid aquaculture facilities in Macedonia. The representatives of the class Cestoda occur most often during the winter (in 3.47% of examined fish), followed by spring (1.80%) and autumn (1.73%). They haven`t been identified during the summer. 20 fish out of 958 totally examined were infected with cestodes, with a mean intensity of 6.40, and a prevalence of 1.76%. In this study, the following parasite species were established: Caryophyllaeus fimbriceps, Bothriocephalus opsariichthydis and Ligula intestinalis (plerocercoid). Based on the total number of fish examined from cyprinid aquaculture facilities in Macedonia, the highest prevalence from the class Cestoda is determined by Bothriocephalus opsariichthydis (1.04%), followed by Caryophyllaeus fimbriceps and Ligula intestinalis with 0.55% each. The highest mean intensity with parasites of the class Cestoda is determined by Caryophyllaeus fimbriceps (9.40), followed by Bothriocephalus opsariichthydis (6.30) and Ligula intestinalis (3.60). The records of Caryophyllaeus fimbriceps in farmed common carp in the present study are considered as the first records for Macedonian aquaculture.

AbstractItalian hare Lepus corsicanus De Winton, 1898, is a true species living in simpatry with Lepus europaeus in mainland Italy and with Oryctolagus cuniculus in Sicily, where L. europaeus is absent. Up to date, nobody has studied the helminths of this endemic Italian Mammal. Therefore, in order to describe Italian hare gastro-intestinal helminths, gastro-intestinal tract of 29 Italian hares, coming from mainland Italy (#14) and from Sicily (#15) were collected between 1997 and 2009. Twentyfive hares were positive for at least one parasite (86 %). Six parasite species were isolated, 2 cestodes (Cittotaenia pectinata, prevalence 3 %) and Paranoplocephala sp., 3 %) and 4 nematodes (Trichostrongylus retortaeformis, 86 %, Graphidium strigosum, 14 %, Trichuris sp., 10 % and Teladorsagia circumcincta, 7 %). Both Teladorsagia circumcincta circumcincta and Teladorsagia circumcincta trifurcata morphotypes were identified. Comparison with available data regarding L. europaeus and O. cuniculus in Italy is provided. Being not T. circumcincta and Paranoplocephala sp. typical parasites of leporids, a description of the observed specimens is given.

A total of 958 specimens of common carp from the most significant and larger cyprinid aquaculture facilities in Macedonia, including fish farms and reservoirs, were examined for parasitological investigations. Eudiplozoon nipponicum was found on gills in 121 specimens of common carp in spring, summer and autumn, with a prevalence of 10.67 %, and a mean intensity of 2.55. Our findings of E. nipponicum in common carp from aquaculture are first recorded in Macedonia.

The aim of this study was to determine the protozoan parasites in common carp (Cyprinus carpio, L. 1758) from the largest cyprinid aquaculture facility in Macedonia, located in Pelagonia region (Bitola). This study was carried out by seasons, in a period of three years. A total of 212 specimens of common carp were examined and 134 fish (63.20%) were infected with protozoan parasites. Representatives of Protozoa were most commonly occurred during the spring (in 58.27 % of the fish examined), than in winter (55.21 %), summer (39.07 %) and the lowest in autumn (35.64 %).In common carp from this cyprinid fish farm the presence of 4 protozoa species was established: Myxobolus müelleri, Myxobolus encephalicus, Thelohanellus nikolskii and Trichodina sp. The mean intensity with protozoan parasites in common carp was 3.60, while the prevalence 10.20 %.
