In Vietnam, fisheries play a key role in the national economy. Helminth infections in fish have a major impact on public health and sustainable fish production. A comprehensive summary of the recent knowledge on fish helminths is important to understand the distribution of parasites in the country, and to design effective control measures. Therefore, a systematic review was conducted, collecting available literature published between January 2004 and October 2020. A total of 108 eligible records were retrieved reporting 268 helminth species, among which are digeneans, monogeneans, cestodes, nematodes and acanthocephalans. Some helminths were identified with zoonotic potential, such as, the heterophyids, opisthorchiids, the nematodes Gnathostoma spinigerum, Anisakis sp. and Capillaria spp. and the cestode Hysterothylacium; and with highly pathogenic potential, such as, the monogeneans of Capsalidae, Diplectanidae and Gyrodactylidae, the nematodes Philometra and Camallanidae, the tapeworm Schyzocotyle acheilognathi, the acanthocephalans Neoechinorhynchus and Acanthocephalus. Overall, these studies only covered about nine percent of the more than 2400 fish species occurring in the waters of Vietnam. Considering the expansion of the aquaculture sector as a part of the national economic development strategy, it is important to expand the research to cover the helminth fauna of all fish species, to assess their potential zoonotic and fish health impacts.

在越南，渔业在国民经济中发挥着关键作用。鱼类的蠕虫感染对公共卫生和可持续鱼类生产具有重大影响。全面总结鱼类寄生虫的最新知识对于了解我国寄生虫的分布情况以及设计有效的控制措施具有重要意义。因此，我们进行了系统回顾，收集了2004年1月至2020年10月期间发表的现有文献。共检索到108条符合条件的记录，报告了268种蠕虫，其中包括双殖纲、单殖纲、绦虫类、线虫类和棘头虫类。一些蠕虫被鉴定为具有人畜共患潜力，例如异形虫、后睾虫、棘颌线虫、异尖线虫。和毛细血管属。和绦虫Hysterothylacium ；具有高致病性的，如荠菜科、双线虫科和圆环虫科的单殖虫， Philometra和 Camallanidae 线虫， Schyzocotyle acheilognathi，棘头虫Neoechinorhynchus和Acanthocephalus。总体而言，这些研究仅涵盖了越南水域 2400 多种鱼类中的约 9%。考虑到扩大水产养殖业作为国家经济发展战略的一部分，重要的是扩大研究范围以涵盖所有鱼类的蠕虫动物区系，以评估其潜在的人畜共患和鱼类健康影响。
