FRESHWATER SNAIL DIVERSITY IN GROWOUT PONDS OF GIANT GOURAMI REGARDING INTERMEDIATE HOSTS OF TREMATODE LARVAE (CERCARIAE STAGE) IN TIEN GIANG PROVINCE
Main Article Content
Abstract
Research on the composition of freshwater snails and trematode larvae (cercariae stage) in giant gourami ponds (N=20) was carried out in Tien Giang province in the wet season of 2020 and in the dry season of 2021. A total of 8 snail species from 4,548 samples was identified by the morphological method. The results showed that Melanoides tuberculata was infected Xiphidio cercariae and Furcocercous cercariae whereas Xiphidio cercariae and Parapleurolophocercous cercariae were recovered from Bithynia sp. No cercariae were found in Filopaludina sumatrensis, Pomacea sp., Sermyla tornatella, Sinotaia lithophaga, Tarebia granifera and Thiara scabra. The trematode pond prevalence in the dry season was higher than in the wet season (P>0.05). Further research on the trematode prevalence in snails in ponds of giant gourami should be done in different months to contribute to the prevention of the trematode infection in snails and giant gourami cultured in ponds.
