Abstrakt:	The article tackles the effects of endocrine disruption (ED) in fish induced by parasites. It states that many anthropogenic and natural factors modulate the endocrine system while pathogens such as parasitic protozoa and metazoa may affect the physiology of their hosts. Most parasites that cause the reproductive dysfunction in fish refer to the larval stages of the tapeworm Ligula intestinalis. The parasite-induced impairment of host reproduction which is associated with parasitic infections has serious implications on the response of biomarkers indicative of ED.
