A total of 354 specimens of cichlids was sampled in polluted and unpolluted ends of Eleyele River, Ibadan, Nigeria and examined for parasites. The total prevalence was 57.34%. Recovered parasites were Clinostomum tilapiae, Euclinostomum heterostomum, Neascus, Allocreadium ghanensis, Phagicola longa, Alloglossidium corti and the acanthocephalan; Acanthogyrus tilapiae and Acanthella. Clinostomum tilapiae had higher prevalence and abundance (42.90%) with Allocreadium corti recording least abundance (0.49%). Tilapia zilli was the most abundant (41.53%) among the fish hosts but Oreochromis niloticus harboured the highest percentage of parasites (80.00%). The fish hosts in the polluted end of the river harboured the highest percentage of parasites (71.18%) against (43.50%) parasites recovered from the unpolluted end. There was a significant difference in the parasites harboured. Heavy infection with a broad number of parasites in fish hosts could reduce performance and productivity of the species, especially in fish farming.]]></p></abstract>

El total de prevalencia fue del 57.34%. Los parásitos encontrados fueron Clinostomum tilapiae, Euclinostomum heterostomum, Neascus, Allocreadium ghanensis, Phagicola longa, Alloglossidium corti y Acanthogyrus tilapiae, Acanthella. Clinostomum tilapiae tuvo la mayor prevalencia y abundancia (42.90%) y Allocreadium corti con la menor abundancia (0.49%). Tilapia zilli fue el más abundante (41.53%) entre los hospederos de los peces pero Oreochromis niloticus albergó el mayor porcentaje de parásitos (80%). Los hospederos de peces en el extremo contaminado del río contienen el mayor porcentaje de parásitos (71.18%) contra (43.50%) de parásitos recuperados en el extremo no contaminado. Existe una diferencia significativa en los parásitos albergados. Una infección intensa con un amplio número de parásitos en peces hospederos podría reducir el rendimiento y la productividad de la especie, especialmente en la piscicultura.]]></p></abstract>
