Parasite fauna of round goby Neogobius melanostomus was investigated in both its native range and non-native range of distribution of the Danube River during 2005 and 2006. The aim was to identify possible changes in parasite communities associated with the introduction of a host into the new environment. A total of 29 metazoan parasite species were found to parasitize round goby in the Danube River; twelve of these parasite occurred in both the native and non-native range of distribution. Introduction of a novel parasite species to the non-native range with the round goby was not found. Losses of native parasite species in non-native round goby populations and / or acquiring of novel parasite species in a new environment were not significant. Thirteen parasite taxa were recorded for the first time in round gobies. Parasite species diversity was higher in both non-native round goby populations (Slovak and Austrian) compared to native Bulgarian populations.
