In our study, a total of 33 specimens of three cyprinid fish (Squalius squalus, Phoxinus lumaireul, and Pelasgus minutus) from Belčišta wetland (south-west Macedonia) were subjected to a parasitological investigation, by season. One specimen of Acanthocephalus lucii was found in autumn, in intestines of minnow (Phoxinus lumaireul Linnaeus, 1758). The record of Acanthocephalus lucii in minnow is considered as the first in N. Macedonia. At the same time, minnow represent a new host for this parasite worldwide.
