Abstract

Fish constitute an essential part of human diet, because its consumption provides important nutrients such as protein, lipids, mineral salts, carbohydrates and vitamins. However, despite these benefits, it has been discovered that parasitism in fish is a common phenomenon that represents a potentially risk for human health. Therefore, the study of the presence of helminthes in individuals of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) present in the Laguna de Bustillos, Chihuahua, Mexico, was established as the objective of this research. During the period from September to November 2011, a total of 30 fishes (N= 30) were captured and summated to a parasitoscopic analysis that allowed obtaining the total frequency of parasitism (FT) and frequency of parasitism (FP) by specie were determined.
