A preliminary study on some larval trematodes parasites of marine snail Cerithidea cingulata (Gmelin, 1791) in Al-Faw Bay, South of Iraq
Abstract
An examination of 500 snails (265 males and 235 females) of Cerithidea cingulata (Gmelin, 1791) collected from Al- Faw Port on the coast of the Arabian Gulf showed that they were infected with five species of larval trematodes of belong to the families : Schistosomatidae (5.3%) and Cyathocotylidae(47.7%) Haplosplanchnidae (21%), Echinostomatidae (8.3%) and Microphallidae (15.6%). The number of infected snails was 337 and the total infection rate was 67.4%, with 196 infected males (73%), 141 females (60%) and mixed infections were in 39 snails (11%) while the rest had a single infection.
