Abstract

A study of prevalence of helminthes infection in fishes from Nong Yat reservoir, Mueang district, Nakhon Phanom province was carried out. The 1,036 fishes were collected in cool, summer, and rainy seasons. The fish were identified in 9 families and 23 species. The highest prevalence of parasite infection was cool season, followed by rainy and summer season with 35.23%, 33.83% and 27.65%, respectively. Twelve species of helminthes were found as 1 species of tapeworm: Lytocystus sp. 3 species of thorny headed worms: Pallisentis sp., Polymorphus sp. and Acanthosentis sp.; 2 species of round worms: Camallanus anabantis and Spinitectus sp. and 6 species of trematodes: Gauhatiana sp., Allocreadium sp., Helostomatis sp., Genarchopsis goppo, Plagioporus sp., Haplorchoides sp. This study found that Nong Yat reservoir had a high diversity of helminthes               in fishes. The information can be used studying parasites diversity in fish and prevent the parasites infection from fish to people of Nakhon Phanom province. Keywords :  helminthes, reservoir, Nakhon Phanom province, freshwater fishes, prevalence
