- Abstract
This study aimed to identify specific types of gastrointestinal helminthes and protozoa parasites that infect the Cyprinidae (Cyprinus carpio). During the growing period, 400 fish were randomly separated from five spawning fish ponds in Sulaimani province: Mara Rash (P1), Qalachwalan (P2), Kandashin (P3), Kalawanan (P4), and Piramagrun (P5). Fish infection with parasites was found to be 30.25% prevalent overall, with a high distribution rate of infestation in the P3 region of 48.75%. Diphyllobothrium latum, Ligula intestinalis, and Bothriocephalusacheilognathi were identified as the three helminthes species,with an overall prevalence rate of 22.75%, P3 had the highest examination rate of helminthes, with 9.25% of the Ligula intestinalis species, 7.5% of Diphyllobothrium latum, and 6% of Bothriecephalusopsariichthydis (acheilognathi) species. The t-test revealed the largest differences, at p-value (Two-tailed) < alpha 0.05, between the helminthes and protozoa parasites' prevalence and pond area. Three protozoa species have been identified, including Cryptosporidium spp., E. histolytica, and Eimeria spp.All spawning fish ponds had an overall prevalence rate of 7.75% of fish infested with protozoa; the greatest percentage was 2.75% for E. histolytica, followed by 2.5% for Eimeria spp., and 1.5% for Cryptosporidium spp. Based on the ponds, the most common protozoainfested fish were 5% of E. histolytica in P1, 3.75% of Cryptosporidium spp. in P3, and 3.75% of Eimeria spp. in P5. The investigation demonstrates that 1% of the mixed in various ponds were afflicted with protozoa parasites.
