Abstract

Incidental situation of trematode larvae in intermediate hosts as snails and cyprinid fishes from Srisongkram district, Nakhon Phanom province. Four species of gastropods were found: Filopaludina dorialis, F. matensi, Thiara sp., and Bithynia siamensis. One species of gastropod as B. siamensis was infected by trematode larvae (redia and cercaria), with a prevalence of infection were 7.32% and 4.88%, respectively. Ten cyprinid fishes were examined; Puntius brevis, Osteochilus vittatus, Henicorhynchus siamensis, Labiobarbus siamensis, Hampala dispar, Cyclocheilichthys repasson, Thynnichthys thynnoides, Barbonymus gonionotus and Rasbora tornieri. Three species of metacercaria were found; Haplorchoides sp., O. viverrini, unknown species, with a total prevalence was 12.39%. Only fish as Cyclocheilichthys repasson was found O. viverrini metacercaria, with the highest prevalence of infection was 26.67%. In this study, O. viverrini metacercaria, an important medical parasite has a high infection rate in fish, which are causing the consumption of this fish to have a high risk of being infected with a high parasite as well
