This study aimed to conduct a molecular diagnosis of the N. roseum parasite isolated from Planiliza abu, Aspius vorax, and Silurus triostegus, analyze genetic variation using specific primers, document new parasite species from various fish hosts, and construct an evolutionary tree. This study involved the examination of 86 intestines from 30 Planiliza abu, 17 Aspius vorax, and 39 Silurus triostegus, collected from Thi-Qar Governorate between June 1 and December 30, 2022. The 5.8S ribosomal DNA primer was utilized. This study documented the species Neoechinorhynchus roseum in Iraq for the first time. The International GenBank documented it under the serial number OQ194064.
