A total of 110 samples were examined which includes 42 males and 68 fe - males. Forty-eight (43,64%) shes were infected with various species of helminth, which includes Wenyonia spp. (28,18%), Procamallanus laevi - onchus (11,82%) and Euclinostomum heterostomum (3,64%). The female sh had the highest percentage prevalence (28,18%) while the males had 15,46% prevalence. Most of the parasites were recovered from the intestinal lumen. There was some degree of specicity in their distribu - tion within the host but there was no signicant dierence (P>0,05) be - tween the standard length, body weight, number of sh infected, preva - lence and the intensity of infection. 2013 artículo científico 1659-4266 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=515651979012 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5156 UNED Research Journal / Cuadernos de Investigación UNED application/pdf Universidad Estatal a Distancia UNED Research Journal / Cuadernos de Investigación UNED (Costa Rica) Num.1 Vol.5 |
