Helminth infections in fish in Vietnam: A systematic review
Trang Huyen Nguyen, Pierre Dorny, Thanh Thi Giang Nguyen, Véronique Dermauw
Abstract
Overall, these studies only covered about nine percent of the more than 2400 fish species occurring in the waters of Vietnam. Considering the expansion of the aquaculture sector as a part of the national economic development strategy, it is important to expand the research to cover the helminth fauna of all fish species, to assess their potential zoonotic and fish health impacts.
