The article provides data on the species composition of alien helminth species, which infest introduced fish species in pond fish farms, and also the literature data on natural reservoirs of Belarus. Seven alien helminth species have been revealed in introduced fish in reservoirs of Belarus ( Khawia sinensis Hsü, 1935, Schyzocotyle acheilognathi (Yamaguti, 1934) , Caryophyllaeus fimbriceps Annenkova-Chlopina, 1919, Philometroides cyprini (Ishii, 1931), Dactylogyrus dulkeiti Bychowsky, 1936, Bothriocephalus claviceps (Goeze, 1782) , Anguillicola crassus Kuwahara 1974). All species of helminths excluding the nematode A.crassus and the cestode B.claviceps - parasites of the eels Anguilla anguilla , were introduced to Belarus with the seeding of Cyprinus carpio haematopterus (Linnaeus, 1758) from the Far East. The invasive species of helminths ( K. sinensis, S. acheilognathi, P. cyprini, A. crassus ), which affect fishery by causing the death of farmed fish, are singled out.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
