ABSTRACT Aims Clinostomid metacercariae infect a wide range of freshwater fish species, posing zoonotic risk to human health when consumed raw or undercooked, potentially leading Halzoun disease. Although these parasites are generally considered threat in Asian countries, they also present various regions Türkiye and have been found 12 different species commonly local cultures. However, their presence has not reported the endemic Anatolian fish, Alburnus escherichii . This study aims...
