Extract

The fish populations of three reservoirs and one river in the Northamptonshire area were examined over a four-year period for the plerocercoid of Ligula iniestinalis. The infection was observed in two of the three reservoirs but was not found in the river Nene. The reservoir which had no infection contained no cyprinids.
