Flukes can cause severe and lethal diseases in various animals, including fish. Both adult and larval stages of flukes are found in fish. Haplorchiasis is an infection of fish gills by heterophyid trematodes such as Haplorchis taichui. To detect this parasite, the gills of 30 Tigris kingfish and Tigris barb collected from the Shapour River in Kazerun, Fars province were found to be parasitized with metacercarial cysts of a heterophyid trematode identified as H. taichui. Histopathological examination of the infected fish gills revealed cartilage proliferation, severe hyperplasia, fusion, S-forming, shortening and thickening, distortion, and displacement of affected secondary gill filaments leading to deformities of the filament structure, clubbing, telangiectasis, and hyperemia. Although the gill damage was evident and potentially life-threatening for the cyprinid fish, the examined fish showed no clinical signs. This finding indicates that H. taichui is pathogenic; therefore, prevention of infection and treatment should bea priority.
