Abstract

Fifty-eight specimens of cyathocotylid flukes were collected from dogs fed on the fishClarias lazera: 10Duboisia, 27Mesostephanus appendiculatus; and 21Prosostephanus industrius. This is the first time that these genera have been identified as parasites ofC. lazera. The danger of human infection with these trematodes by means ofC. lazera and other commercially important fish is stressed.
