Abstract :

Background: Knowledge about the amphistomid fauna in Iranian domestic ruminants depends on the studies conducted almost 30 years ago. The last situation in cattle is introduced here in the provinces in south coast of Caspian Sea.

Methods: Amphistomid species were collected from cattle at slaughter houses of the provinces Gilan and Mazanderan in 2010. Median sagittal sections were prepared by the conventional me­thod. Species were identified by the histomorphological pecularities of the muscular argans.

Results: Five amphistomid species,  Paramphistomum cevri, P. gotoi,  Calicophoron calicopho­rum,  Carmyerius spatiosus and Gastrothylax compressus,  recovered. Calicophoron calicopho­rum is a new species for Iran. Criteria used in identification of the species were illustrated.

Conclusion: Iran has a rich amphistomid fauna and mostly under the influence of oriental condi­tions.
