Abstract

Examinations of 76, mostly freshwater, fishes belonging to 9 species of 5 families in southwestern Iran revealed the presence of the following 5 species of nematode parasites: Rhabdochona demudata, R. fortunatowi, Proleptinae gen. sp. larvae, Contracaecum sp. larvae and Hysterothylacium sp. larvae. Most of these findings represent new host and geographical records. The freshwater fish nematodes recorded from southwestern Iran show a relationship to the Palaearctic fauna and they are known to occur as well in neighbouring countries.

Kurzfassung

Bei der Untersuchung von 76 Süßwasserfischen, die zu 9 Arten and 5 Familien gehörten, wurden 5 Nematoden-Arten gefunden: Rhabdochona denudata, R. fortunatowi, Proleptinae gen. sp. larvae, Contracaecum sp. larvae und Hysterothylacium sp. larvae. Meist handelt es sich um Erstnachweise für die Wirte bzw. von der geographischen Region. Die Nematoden der Süßwasserfische Südwest-Irans zeigen eine Verbindung zur paläarktischen Fauna and sind auch in den Nachbarländem nachgewiesen.
