In this study, Ligula intestinalis parasite, which is the host of Barbus ercisianus living in Nemrut Crater Lake, was recorded for the first time. The parasite was described molecularly as well as morphologically. In this context, a primer set was designed for molecular identification for the 28S rRNA gene region of L. intestinalis. Real-Time PCR results with the designed primers gave positive results in all parasite samples. The results were confirmed by a single peak (87) in the HRM analysis.}, number={1}, publisher={Van Yuzuncu Yıl University}
