Summary
1. The survey of trematode infection among stray dogs revealed the presence of Cynodiplostomum azimi, Echinochasmus liliputans, Prohimostomum vivax, Heterophyes heterophyes, H. dispar, Diorchitrema pseudocirratum, Haplorchis spp., Phagicola spp., Pygidiopsis genata and Stictodora sawakinensis.
2. It was found that Mugil cephalus and Telapia nilotica act as second intermediate hosts for Echinochasmus liliputans, Prohimostomum vivax, Heterophyes heterophyes, H. dispar, Diorchitrema pseudocirratum, Haplorchis spp., Phagicola spp., Pygidiopsis genata and Stictodora sawakinensis.
3. Only one specimen of Echinochasmus perfoliatus was obtained from the small intestines of a dog which had been fed on Mugil cephalus.
