All fish specimens were found to be infected with cestodes. Eight species in 4 genera of cestodes were recorded, <em>Caulopatera pagei</em>, <em>Orectolobicestus tyleri</em>, <em>Spiniloculus</em> <em>mavensis</em>, <em>Yorkeria hilli</em>, <em>Y. kelleyae</em>, <em>Y. saliputium</em>,<em> Y. yubodohensis</em> and <em>Y. chonburiensis</em>. In this study, 3,834 specimens of cestodes were found in <em>C. punctatum</em> of which 1,539 specimens (40.14 %) were <em>Yorkeria</em> spp. <em>O. tyleri</em> (51.41 %) with <em>Y. chonburiensis</em> the lowest (0.05 %). The prevalence of the cestode infection was highest in August (61.9 parasites per fish) followed by October (57.9 parasites per fish) and July (57.6 parasites per fish), whereas infection was lowest in February (21.6 parasites per fish). <em>O. tyleri</em>, <em>S.</em> <em>mavensis</em>, <em>Y. hilli</em>, <em>Y. kelleyae</em> and <em>Y. yubodohensis</em> were found in all seasons. Five species; <em>C. pagei</em>, <em>O. tyleri</em>, <em>S.</em> <em>mavensis</em>, <em>Y. saliputium</em> and<em> Y. yubodohensis</em> were the first records in Thailand.}, number={6}, journal={Walailak Journal of Science and Technology (WJST)}, author={PURIVIROJKUL, Watchariya}, year={2013}, month={Oct.}, pages={591–596} }
