Effect of Biotic and Abiotic Factors on the Epidemiological Index of Dactylogyrus heteromorphus El Gharbi, 1994 (Monogenea) Parasitizing the Algerian Barbel Luciobarbus callensis (Cyprinidae) Inhabiting Foum-El-Khanga Dam (Souk-Ahras, Algeria)
Öz
Examination of 341 individuals of Luciobarbus callensis caught in Foum El Khanga Dam during the year 2015, allowed us to collect 2782 specimens of the parasitic species Dactylogyrus heteromorphus El Gharbi, 1994. The statistical study of the epidemiological index distribution of D. heteromorphus shows that the parasitic infestation varies from one season to another. In contrast, the sex and size of L. callensis do not affect parasite infestation. Variations in the epidemiological index of D. heteromorphus concerning fifteen physicochemical water parameters were tested statistically. These variations are significant with temperature, salinity, nitrate, nitrite, chloride, phosphate, calcium, sulfate, hardness, turbidity, and electrical conductivity, however, no significant effect of the concentration of magnesium, dissolved oxygen, ammonium, and pH on these indexes according to the Pearson’s parametric test.
