Abstract

Ten B. luteus fishes had been collecting from fishermen that fishing by throw net from Euphrates river Al-mussab city during 25 June to 10 July 2018, and examined it, throughout looking for parasite infection, ciliated was arise in four of it, then start measuring it and comparing it with what the taxonomy references and what other researcher find, then the parasite considered as a new intrusive on B. luteus fish and this fish as a new host for it in Iraq.
