| Abstract |
The monogenean Paradiplozoon zeller (Gyntovt, 1967) (Monogenea: Diplozoidae) was recorded and described in the present study for the first time in Iraq on gills of leuciscid fish Alburnus mossulensis Heckel, 1843 which was collected from Aw-e Shiler River in Sharbazher Region, north of Sulaimani City in Iraq. This is the first Paradiplozoon species recorded on A. mossulensis in Iraq and it’s the twentieth Paradiplozoon species so far recorded from Iraqi fishes. The description and measurements of this parasite are given. |
