Abstract
The infection by Ligula intestinalis plerocercoids in two intergeneric hybrids Blicca bjoerkna x Rutilus rutilus is described. The plerocerc oids were found in adult fishes being fully infective as related to th e lenghts and weights of these parasites. The parasite index (P. I.) h ad the values of 1.14 and 1.90. In hybrids of cyprinid fishes, the inf ection by L. intestinalis is found for the first time.
