The occurrence of the non-native tapeworm Khawia Japonensis (Yamaguti, 1934) (Cestoda) in cultured common carp in the Czech Republic confirms its recent expansion in Europe
Original language description
Invasive parasites represent a serious problem due to their capacity to threaten local populations of native (often endemic) hosts, and fishes in breeding facilities. Tapeworms (Cestoda) are extremely adapted (they lack any gut and circulatory system) parasitic flatworms some of which have colonised new geographical regions as a result of unintentional transfer of hosts infected with these parasites. The highest number of invasive parasites within this host-parasite system is among tapeworms parasitizing common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.), which has also been introduced globally. In the present study, we report another record of the Asian non-native fish tapeworm Khawia japonensis (Yamaguti, 1934) (Cestoda: Caryophyllidea) from common carp in Europe. Previous records of this cestode from Italy (Po River basin) and Slovakia (Danube River basin) and its present finding in the Czech Republic (Elbe River basin) confirms recent expansion of the parasite in Europe. Potential impacts of this non-native parasite on common carp in commercial breeding fisheries should be carefully studied.
