The risks of fish parasites, especially nematodes, to human
and animal health constitute are an important problems. The
infections are not only caused health deficiency or disability of
humans and animals but also reduce productivity and
profitability of aquacultute, increase economic burden due to
the costs for disease treatment and prevention. Although
parasitic deseases caused many harmfulness, they have received
little attention from scientists, managements.
Our study of the composition of the parasitic nematodes in
marine fishes in the off Vietnam is urgently needed. The
survey’s results are not only provide the information about the
fauna of fish’s nematoda, the relation between hosts-parasites,
but also assess the the potential risks for human consumption.
