Among them, 118 fishes (occupied 54.4% total number of surgical fish) belonged to 13 species of Cypriniformes (occupied 54.2% total number of fish species).</p> <p>Of the total 832 samples of fish parasites collected, there were 504 samples of Monogenea, 212 Trematodes, 25 Cestodes, 16 Acanthocephala, 44 Nematoda and 31 Copepoda.</p> <p>Infected rate of fish in study site was not too high, the prevalence was 39.2%. and the density of parasites per each infected host was 9,8 individuals/host. Monogenea was the highest infected group (26.3%), while other groups were lower: from 1.4% to 7.4%. The infected rate was highest in cranoglanis 90%, the next was hemicultus 54.5%, tilapia 50%, red - eyed carp and major carp 40%, mudfish 28.0%.</p> <p>In case of 14 fish species, with 10 surgical fish individuals, the infection rate fluctuated between 16.7% and 90%. The infected rate was observed as the highest in <em>Cranoglanis sinensis</em> (90%) and the lowest in Tilapia (16.7%).</p> <p>Parasite infection intensity in not too high, one individual of fish infected with 9.8 worms in average (min - max: 1 - 84). The highest infected intensity was found in common carp 33.0 worms/fish (1 - 64), the next is red - eyed carp 29.0worm/fish and cranoglanis 13.9worms/fish; the lowest infection intensity was found in hemicultur 12.3 worms/fish.</p> <p>The certain host are normally infected with 2 or 3 parasite groups their prevalence and density is not too high.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Academia Journal of Biology}, author={Duc, Nguyen Van and Binh, Tran Thi and Hung, Nguyen Manh and Hien, Hoang Van}, year={2012}, month={May}, pages={9–14} }
