Overview

Assessment identifies key parasites and environmental factors affecting fish in two lakes, suggesting risks for consumers.

Key Points

  • Parasitic infections threaten both fish life and human health globally, with 51.0% parasitic infestation observed.
  • Ichthyophirus and Ichthyobodo species were the most prevalent parasites, each found in 18.0% of fish samples.
  • Analysis involved 112 fish samples from Kolo creek and Ekoli River, with Claris auguillaris being the most vulnerable species at 36.8%.
  • Human activities, particularly unhealthy practices, may worsen parasitic loads on fish and increase infection risks to consumers.
