A mild chronic inflammation and some tissue necrosis were observed in infected fish. Significant correlations were found between occurrence of infection and host length, and gonado-somatic index; and between intensity of infection and condition factor.engGudgeonIberian PeninsulaParasitesPathologyPhilometridaeFirst record of Philometra ovata (Nematoda) infection in Gobio lozanoi in Portugaljournal article
