“…The species identified morphology by using the key for identification [16]. A traditional method was employed to isolate the naididae species from snails, which involved dissection of the snails (crushing infected snails) [3] and preserving in (90%) ethanol for morphology study and molecular identification.…”

“…Chaetogaster limnaei is an oligochaete considered ectosymbiont and cosmopolitan species belonging to the family Naididae, its close commensal relationship with more than 40 species of freshwater snails, mostly memberships of Physidae, Planorbidae and Lymnaeidae [1][2][3], infesting the mantle, pulmonary cavities, or foot mucus [4]. C. limnaei has been reported in association with a variety of host taxa across the world including Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America [5].…”

The present study is concerned with the Chaetogaster limnaei retrieved from the freshwater snail Physa acuta collected from (March-October 2021) from various locations near Chama-dubz village on the Greater Zab River, Erbil province, Iraq. Some Physicochemical variables, like water temperature, pH, Dissolved Oxygen, and Calcium ion experiment on a freshwater snail. The result showed statistically significant differences among Monthly variations with variables (number of snails, water temperature, pH and DO, and Calcium ion). In addition, isolated the Chaetogaster limnaei from Physa acuta with a prevalence was 5.75% (33/574), which has no dorsal and ventral chaeta approximately 14 to 20 per bundle, lack in segments 3 to 5, and chaetae and a vestige of a prostomium with sharply bent teeth. The identified morphologically and molecularly confirmed by using a COI sequence marker confirmed a 100% match to species with accession number (KF952336.1). As a result, the current study is the first report of Chaetogaster limnaei in Iraq, supported by phylogenetic analysis using Maximum Likelihood and Maximum Parsimony Methods.

The sewage snail Physa acuta has invaded several countries worldwide. Its presence in Chile was first reported in 2014. Recently, this species was recorded for the first time in the Bullileo Reservoir, central Chile, in association with the oligochaete Chaetogaster limnaei, which was found within the mantle cavity of the snail. The presence of juvenile and adults of P. acuta greater than 10 mm suggests that the species is well adapted to the ecosystem. A prevalence of 39.1% of C. limnaei was recorded for P. acuta, with a range of infestation of 1–4 parasites per host.
