    The document examines the prevalence of parasitic infections affecting the gills of cultured fish species in three governorates in Egypt from December 1998 to December 2001, finding high rates of infection by parasites like Trichodina, Monogenea, and trematodes in tilapia, catfish, carp, and other species which caused respiratory issues, skin darkening, and mortality in the farmed fish. Histopathological analysis revealed gill changes like hyperplasia and thickening of the secondary gill lamellae and proliferation of chondrocytes in the gill filaments due to the parasitic infections. Treatment trials for trichodinias
