Abstract

The Asian fish tapeworm (Bothriocephalus acheilognathi) is an introduced species that has spread throughout much of the United States and into Canada. This cestode was found in a specimen of bluntnose minnow (Pimephales notatus) collected from Grosse Îsle in the Detroit River in September, 2002. This parasite is a known pathogen that can cause weight loss, anemia, and mortality in young fishes. This is the first report of B. acheilognathi in the Great Lakes.
