Microscopic examination of these fishes revealed that they were infected with five species of ciliated protozoans [Chilodonella cyprinid with 1.6 % percentage of infestation, Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (3.5 %), Trichodina domerguei (21.6 %), Apiosoma piccolo (0.4 %) and Epistyles solidus (1.2 %)]. In the present study, C. carpio is considered as a new host (third host) in Iraq for Epistylis solidus. خلال المدة المحصورة بين تشرين الثاني 2007 و تشرين الاول 2008 جمعت و فحصت 255 سمكة تعود إلى عائلة الشبوطيات، من أسماك المياه العذبة و هي سمكة الكارب الإعتيادي Cyprinus carpio. جمعت الأسماك من أسواق بيع الأسماك شرق مدينة بغداد. أظهر الفحص المجهري للأسماك أنها مصابة بخمسة أنواع من الهدبيات و هي : Chilodonella cyprini] (1.6% النسبة المئوية للإصابة)، Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (3.5%)، Trichodina domerguei (21.5%)، Apiosoma piscicola (0.4%)، Epistylis solidus (1.2%)[. تعتبر سمكة الكارب الإعتيادي في هذه الدراسة الحالية مضيفا جديدا للطفيلي الهدبي Epistylis solidus.
