Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: In the present investigation, a total of 250 W. attu and 350 R. rita were examined for the investigations on parasite infestation. A total of 11 species of parasites collected and identified from W. attu, one ecto-parasite (Argulus foliaceus) and 10 endo-parasites of which three were trematodes (Isoparorchis hypselobagri, Macrolecithus gotoi, Magnacetabulum trachuri); two nematodes (Contracaecum L3 larva, Cosmoxynemoids aguirrei); one cestode (Polyoncobothrium polypteri) and four acanthocephalas (Echinorhynchus kushiroense, Pallisentis ophiocephali, Acanthocephalus aculeatus, Pallisentis umbellatus).
