They were studied to helminthology to 9 fish on day one and 9 on the 15th day of a selling point of live tilapia. We recorded 5 species of monogeneans four species of gill parasites: Scutogyrus longicornis, Cichlidogyrus dossoni, C. sclerosus, C. tilapiae and a kind of intestinal monogenean Enterogyrus malmbergi. No species of other groups of parasites were recovered. The prevalence and average intensity higher was for C. sclerosus in both groups and no host zoonotic risk.
