Popis: Studies on parasitism in zooplankton and periphyton assemblages were carried out on samples of water collected from Lakes Płociczno and Płociowe in the Drawa National Park in 2008-2011. Occurrence of the fungal mycobiotal and protozoan parasites of invertebrates was recorded in both lakes. Parasitism of Chydorus sp. (Cladocera) by Saprolegnia sp. occurred on 0.8% of individuals of the host population, of Brachionus calyciflorus (Rotifera) by Microsporidium sp. on 1.2% of the host population, and of Nematoda members by Pythium sp. on 5% of the host population. Parasites were recorded only in springtime.
