ABSTRACT
Hadi AM, Zainab AM., Pathogenic intestinal parasites found in fresh
water of the Tigris river, Onl J Vet Res., 17(11):608-619, 2013. Pathogenic
intestinal parasites present in fresh water from the Al- Gherai´at
and Al-Kadhimiya banks of the Tigris river in Baghdad, Iraq are reported. Schistosoma haematobium, Polymorphus sp., Taenia
sp., Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris sp., Strongyloides stericorailis, Entamoeba histolytica,
Giardia sp., Trichomonus vaginalis, Chilomastix sp., Iodamoeba butschlii, Naegleriae sp., Coccidia sp.,
Cryptosporidium parvum, Cryptosporidium muris, Acanthamoeba sp. and Blantidium sp. were isolated. The findings suggest contamination of
fresh water by sewage discharge with human health consequences, especially for swimmers.
