The investigated fishes are, Oreochromis niloticus, Tilapia zilli and Ctenopharyngodon idella. Three Trichodina species isolated, Trichodina centrostrigeata Basson and Van As, 1994, Trichodina magna Van As and Basson, 1992, and Trichodina epizootica Raabe, 1950 from the freshwater fishes in Qena, Egypt.

Comparisons with closely related species are provided.
