  • Malapterurus electricus exhibited a prevalence of 94.54%, making it the most infected species identified.
  • Risk factors include fish sex, weight, and species, significantly influencing infection rates.
  • Female fish were nearly twice as likely to be infected compared to males, highlighting a potential vulnerability.
