Abstract:
Between April 2003 and November 2006 a total of 191 individuals of the predominantly herbivorous fish species nase Chondrostoma nasus (L. 1758) were examined for parasites from six river sites in Austria. The following parasite taxa were recovered--Ciliata: Trichodina sp., Chilodonella piscicola, Ichthyophthirius multifiliis; Myxozoa: Myxobolus muelleri (cysts) and Myxobolus sp. (cysts); Monogenea: Dactylogyrus vistulae, D. chondrostomi and Dactylogyrus spp., Gyrodactylus sp., Diplozoon paradoxum; Digenea: Diplostomum spathaceum (larv.) and Tylodelphis clavata (larv.); Cestoda: Caryophyllaeus laticeps; Acanthocephala: Pomphorhynchus laevis; Bivalvia: Unio sp. (Glochidia); Crustacea: Lamproglena pulchella; Hirudinea: Piscicola geometra. The only taxa occurring at all sample sites were Dactylogyrus spp., which was also the dominant taxon at most sites, and Myxobolus muelleri, both from the gills of the fish. This is the first record of the parasite community of the nase in Austria.
