Abstract
SUMMARY: The prevalence of Trypanosoma cobitis was recorded in species of small fish from the River Lee at Enfield Lock during 33 months of sampling. Trypanosome infections were more numerous during the summer months with 50–70% of bottom-living ‘inactive’ fish, bullheads (Cottus gobio), stone loach (Nemacheilus barbatulus) and gudgeon (Gobio gobio) infected, compared to only 6 and 18% of the more active pelagic fishes, stickle-backs (Gasterosteus aculeatus) and minnows (Phoxinus phoxinus).Keywords
