Two freshwater fish species, Clarias gariepinus and Oreochromis mossambicus, were collected from pans, dryseason
pools, and tributaries of the Save and Runde rivers in the southeastern lowveld of Zimbabwe from December 2004
until June 2006. Helminth parasites infecting these fish were isolated from the gills, skin, muscles, body cavity, gall bladder,
stomach, and intestines and were examined microscopically. Adult helminths were collected from the darter, Anhinga
melanogaster, a piscivorous bird, to compare and possibly link them to the larvae recovered from fish. Stomach contents of
the birds were analyzed, and their prey fish species were identified.
