Sumario:In Gurez Valley of Jammu & Kashmir, India, 210 specimens of Salmo trutta and 126 of Schizothorax plagiostomus examined during the present study, 49 (23.33%) and 35 (27.77%) respectively were infected with different types of helminth parasites. The recovered parasites during the study include Adenoscolex oreini and Rhabdochona guptii in S. trutta with a prevalence of 16.19%; 19.52% respectively; and A. oreini; R. guptii and Camallanus fotedari in S. plagiostomus with a prevalence of 19.84%; 22.22% and 18.25% respectively. A. orieni was most prevalent in both hosts during summer (20% & 23.68%), followed by autumn, spring and winter with a prevalence of 18.96% & 19.44%, 11.53% &17.85% and 10% & 16.66% respectively.
