Posthodiplostomum Dubois, 1936 species have worldwide distribution. Metacercariae of P. cuticola that is common in Europe causes “black spot” disease in freshwater fishes. A limited number of data on mitochondrial and ribosomal sequences of P. cuticola are available in the GenBank. In addition, there is no sequencing data on trematodes belonging to genus of Posthodiplostomum in Turkey. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of Posthodiplostomum metacercariae in freshwater chubs (Squalius cephalus) and to reveal the molecular characterization of mt-COI and ITS-2 gene regions of the identified isolates. Posthodiplostomum metacercariae were detected in the gills of two (1.6%) out of 123 fish. The ITS-2 gene sequences of the isolates (POSTC1-C2) (MN701652-3) found in this study showed 99.8-100% identity with P. cuticola sequences isolated from skin, muscle and fins of different fish species in Czech Republic and Hungary. In addition, the mtCOI gene sequences of the POSTC1-C2 isolates (MN700658-9) showed 99.1-98.9% identity with P. cuticola isolate (cercariae) (KX931424) from Planorbis planorbis in Lithuanian. This study provides first molecular and phylogenetic characterization of P. cuticola isolates found in chubs (Squalius cephalus) in Turkey.
