  abstract = {{B}ackground: {T}his study aimed to determine the prevalence and mean infection intensity of zoonotic foodborne trematodes ({FBT}) in small indigenous species ({SIS}) fish hosts. {M}aterials and {M}ethods: {A} total of 8630 specimens of unknown origin were collected from the markets in {P}hnom {P}enh {C}ity. {F}ish were identified, weighed, and separated into 20 g subsamples for each fish species, and were examined using the artificial digestion method. {A} total of 10 species of {FBT} were detected in 11 species of fish out of the 23 species of fish in the total sample. {R}esults: {A}ll infected {FBT} species were intestinal flukes. {N}o liver flukes were found. {T}he overall prevalence of {FBT} infection was 29.3% +/- 5.3%, and the mean intensity was 0.85 +/- 1.89 metacercariae ({M}c)/g. {T}he highest {FBT} prevalence was observed for {I}sthmiophora hortensis (10.7%) and {C}entrocestus formosanus (7.9%). {O}ther species identified were {D}iplostomum spp., {E}chinochasmus japonicus, {E}chinostoma revolutum, {E}chinostoma sudanense, {H}aplorchis taichui, {H}aplorchis pumilio {H}eterophyes spp., and {P}rocerovum varium. {T}he highest mean intensity was found for {D}iplostomum spp. (1.75 +/- 3.03 {M}c/g). {T}richopsis vittata was one of the main species constituting the {SIS} in urban markets (31.72%) and showed the highest prevalence of {FBT} (75.0%). {I}n addition, {T}. vittata had the highest diversity of intestinal flukes compared with other fish species. {A}mblypharyngodon chulabhornae showed the highest mean intensity. but low diversity (only two species) and low prevalence. {C}onclusions: {T}. vittata could be considered a potential indicator for targeted monitoring of {FBT} intestinal flukes, but {A}. chulabhornae could also be considered for quantitative studies considering its high mean intensity.},
