Abstract:
Ten fresh water fish species (Hypothalmichthys molitrix, Tilapia mossambica, Mylopharyngodon piceus, Cirrhina molitorella, Squaliobabus curriculus, Cyprinus carpio, Carassius carassius, Ophicephatus, Pluta alba, Clarias fuscus) collected from five markets in Ha Noi city: Dang Tran Con (Dong Da district), North Thanh Xuan (Thanh Xuan district), Thanh Cong (Ba Dinh district), Van Dien (Thanh Tri district), and Phung Khoang (Tu Liem district) were examined for Clonorchis metacercaria and Gnathostoma larvea. Seven species were found to be infected with Clonorchis metarcecaria and only eels (Fluta alba) infected with Gnathostoma larvae. The samples of Clonorchis sp metacercaria were identified as Clonorchis sinensis and Gnathostoma larvae as Gnathostoma spinigerum
