A total of 103 pumpkinseed sunfish L. gibbosus was surveyed for parasites. Fourteen parasite species representing six higher taxa were recovered. Of the fish examined, 72.8 % were found to harbour parasites. The most prevalent were glochidia of Unio sp. (43.7 %) and metacercariae of Diplostomum sp. (38:8 %). Findings of Ichthyocotylurus platycephalus, Tylodelphys clavata, Ergasilus sieboldi and Caligus lacustris constitute new host records. None of the species found, poses a human health threat.
