Abstract

This study records for the first time in Colombia the presence of trematode <em>Typhlocoelum cucumerinum</em> (Rudolphi, 1809) in domestic Muscovy ducks (<em>Cairina moschata domestica</em>). A total of 210 trematodes were collected from 42 adult individuals, 26 males and 16 females. Parasitic frequency was 57.14% and mean parasitic intensity was 8.75 parasites per animal. Results show the presence of trematodes in aquatic ecosystems in the Department of Córdoba (Colombia).
