The leech samples were collected and identified in some wetlands of Türkiye between January 2009 and September 2016. During the study, leech samples were taken from nine wetlands. In the study, seven species belonging to Erpobdellidae (Erpobdella octoculata, Erpobdella testacea), Glossiphonidae (Helobdella stagnalis, Placobdella costata), Hirudinidae (Hirudo sulukii, Hirudo verbana) and Haemopidae (Haemopis sanguisuga) were determined. E. octoculata and E. testacea from Cip Dam Lake and Behramaz stream, from Durusu (Terkos) Lake and Kaledibi Marsh, and H. verbana from Iron H. sanguisuga Marsh and Sülüklü Lake are the first record. H. sulukii and H. verbana leech species are the most important medicinal leech species used in traditional and integrative medicine. Extensive international trade in H. verbana was identified as a major threat to natural populations, so it has been listed in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
