Part 2 ZooNotes, Supplement 7, Plovdiv University Press, Plovdiv, 2019 Review of cestodes (Platyhelminthes: Cestoda) recorded from birds in Vrachanska Planina Mountains MARGARITA MARINOVA Abstract. A review of cestodes (Platyhelminthes: Cestoda) recorded from birds in Vrachanska Planina Mountains is presented. A total of 20 species were reported as one of them has been identified at the generic level only. They belong to 15 genera and 5 families of the order Cyclophyllidea. As hosts, 15 species of bird from 12 families and 5 orders were reported. A host-parasite list is presented. The cyclophyllidean cestode species from birds recorded in the Vrachanska Planina Mountains represent 8.8% from the species recorded in Bulgaria. Kew words: Cestoda, birds, review, Vrachanska Planina Mountains, Bulgaria. Introduction According to Stoyanov & Donchev (2016), the species diversity of birds on the territory of the Vrachanski Balkan Nature Park is represented by 280 species of birds, 131 of them nesting in the mountain. Despite the well-presented diversity of birds in the region, their cestode fauna has not been sufficiently studied. There are only few faunistic records of cestodes from birds in the studied region (Paspalev et al. 1969; Paspalev & Paspaleva 1972; Vasilev 1973; Petrova 1977). In addition, a part of the primary data obtained by the above-mentioned studies has also been presented in review publications on the cestodes from the fauna of Bulgaria. These are: cestode fauna of wild birds in Bulgaria (Kornyushin et al. 1984), the PhD thesis of the cestodes of the family Dilepididae from passeriform birds in Bulgaria (Georgiev 1991), the checklist of cestodes of waterfowl (Marinova et al. 2013), the PhD thesis of the cestodes of the family Hymenolepididae from birds of the families Anatidae and Rallidae in Bulgaria (Marinova 2016). The aim of the present review is to summarise the information about cestode parasites of birds, which have been recorded in Vrachanska Planina Mts. until 2017. Materials and Methods The review summarises all data on cestode parasites of birds recorded from Vratsa region. In view of the biological characteristics of the final hosts as well as the scarce data in the helminthological literature, some adjacent territories within a range of up to 20 km around Vrachanska Planina Mts. are also included in this survew, e.g. Varshets, Klisura Monastery (Varshets Region), the villages of Stoyanovo (Varshets Region), Zamphirovo and Borovtsi (Berkovitsa Region). The cestode species are arranged according to the classification adopted by the database of Fauna Europaea (http://www.faunaeur.org). Synonyms used in the Bulgarian 9 CESTODA helminthological literature only are included. In addition data of general distribution of the reported species were presented. The nomenclature of the birds follows Fauna Europaea (Roselaar 2004). Results List of cestode species from birds in the Vrachanska Planina Mountains Phylum Platyhelminthes Class Cestoda Order
