This research
conducted ectoparasite scans from frogs (Rana
ridibunda, Rana viridis) caught
from the same pool as Japanese fish (Carassius
auratus) reared in Dr. Nazmi TEKELIOGLU Freshwater Research Station of Cukurova University
between April-July 2016 periods. Ectoparasite examinations were performed on a
total of 120 fish and 60 frogs a monthly basis April, May and June. For
protozoans in stationary preparation; formal acetic acid, Battin's fluid,
Carry's fluid, Schaudinn fixative and glycerin were used. Klein's silver
impregnation method was used to prepare trichodina preparates. Materials taken
by scraping the gills and skin tissues of the fish and the skin tissues of the
frog larvaes were examined, and metazoan and protozoan parasites were observed.
All Parasites were photographed and identified to the genus level. In all of
the study periods, parasites of the genera Dactylogyrus
and Thricodina were detected in both
fish and frog larvaes. These results indicate that ectoparasite transmission
between goldfish and frog larvae was observed.
