title: Alternations in the liver enzymatic activity of Common carp,Cyprinus carpioin response to parasites,Dactylogyrusspp. andGyrodactylusspp.
abstract: The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of parasites, monogenea,Dactylogyrusspp. andGyrodactylusspp. on some enzymatic and biochemical components of liver in healthy and infected common carp,Cyprinus carpio. For this purpose, 10 healthy and 10 infected fish were collected from farm. The blood samples were taken and after separation of serum, the values of Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) enzymes activities as well as Creatinine and Urea were measured. Based on obtained results, the values of AST, ALT enzymes activities as well as Creatinine and Urea were higher in the infected fish compared to non-infected fish. In conclusion; our results reveals that infection with external parasites,Dactylogyrusspp. andGyrodactylusspp. can causes some dysfunctions in liver and kidney of common carp.
