Helminth bioindicator species possess the potential to forecast forthcoming events of diseases in aquatic ecosystems, freshwater as well as marine, in India. Neascus vetestai was projected to be the digenean causative larval organism, the manifestation of which was externally identifiable, as one of the rare cases by which the presence of a digenea...

Fish turned out to be an important host to a varied range of taxonomically diverse parasites that exhibit a wide variety of life cycles. Whereas many of these parasites are passed directly between ultimate hosts, others need to find the way through a series of intermediate hosts before reaching a target host in which they can inhabit for attaining...

Entomopathogenic infections by protozoans predominantly, the microsporidians, are of paramount significance in being ineradicable that caused subtle pathologies to induce reproductive productivity decline and shortening of life spans. These have been considered incredibly fit as long-term regulators of pests for effective checks of disease outbreak...

Fish represents a major group of organisms which serve as hosts for many parasites, ironically, they are one of the leading causes of mass mortality of fish populations. Freshwater fishes are heavily infected with a variety of helminths. The present study was aimed to check the availability of gastrointestinal parasites of Wallago attu fish in loca...

The helminth parasites possess great capabilities to adapt themselves within their hosts and also develop strategies to render the commonly used anthelmintics ineffective leading to the development of resistance against these drugs. Besides using anthelmintics the natural products have also been tested for their anti-parasitic effects. Therapeutic...

Real-time PCR coupled with high-resolution molecular (HRM) analysis was conducted to target the second internal transcribed spacer (ITS-2) of nuclear ribosomal DNA. The latter acted as a genetic marker to identify and distinguish two anisakid and one cucullanid species parasitizing marine and freshwater fish. Unique and distinct characteristics of...

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the antiradical and antioxidant properties possess by oxovanadium(IV) complexes. Free radicals are key factor to damage the biomolecules, cell organelles, and cell and tissues, which are responsible for metabolic as well as other chronic diseases. In our study, we find that VO-Threonine is most potent DP...

According to an estimate, the chronic infections caused by certain pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites contribute to about 18% of the global burden of cancer; helminth infections attributing to only small part of it. Carcinogenesis associated with the helminthes infections induced development of cancer is a complicated event in...

Bioinvasion: a paradigm shift from marine to inland ecosystems. Anisakidosis is one of the most fearsome zoonotic food borne disease in aquaculture. The natural infections by anisakidoids or related variety in freshwater fish are not known, though sporadic experimental reports are available abroad (Butcher and Shamsi 2011). Invasive severity of an...

Anisakidosis is one of the most fearsome zoonotic food borne disease in aquaculture. The natural infections by anisakidoids or related variety in freshwater fish are not known, though sporadic experimental reports are available abroad (Butcher and Shamsi 2011). Invasive severity of anisakidoids in fish from Gangetic riverine ecosystems, i.e., in ri...

Three keys to the species of Neolebouria Gibson, 1976, representing three body types, are provided based on the location of the genital pore relative to the intestinal bifurcation. These are: the lanceolata body type, where the genital pore is clearly prebifurcal; the diacopae body type, where the genital pore is located at or near the level of the...

Neolebouria capoori n. sp. (Opecoelidae: Plagioporinae) is described from the whitecheek monocle bream, Scolopsis vosmeri (Bloch) (Perciformes: Nemipteridae) from the Panjim coast on the central west coast of India at Goa. The new species differs from both Neolebouria cantherhini (Li, Qiu & Zhang, 1988) as originally described from Thamnaconus mode...

A new endoparasitic fluke, Cephalogonimus yamunii n.sp. is described from the intestine of freshwater fish Xenentodon cancilla (Belonidae). The worms could be differentiated from C. amphiumae (Chandler 1932), C. apognichthysi (Gupta and Puri 1982), C. hanumanthai (Agrawal and Agarwal 1984), C. salamandrus (Dronen and Lang 1974), C. simhai (Singh 20...

To assess the effect of physicochemical factors of marine water on the bioecology of parasitic helminthes in the deep sea fish.

Molecular characterization and validation of Senga gangesii published by Gairola and Malhotra (1986a) by DNA barcode structure of the bothriocephalidean tapeworm comprising information on mit coi and 18S rRNA have been undertaken further to elaborate morphological analysis on SEM illustrations from fresh collections in the sub-humid region. The fre...

The attributes of multivariate analyses were applied to infer peculiarity in distribution dynamics of Cephalogonimus yamunii Upadhyay et al. (J Parasit, 2012) in Xenentodon cancilla under influence of interionic interactions amongst hydrobiological factors. Non-parametric Mann–Whitney’s Test χ2 statistic as significant for the effect of Dissolved O...

The seasonality influence on the biology and distribution dynamics of Cephalogonimus yamunii n.sp. in Xenentodon cancilla (Teleostomi: Belonidae) was reflected during 2 years’ investigations. The highest infection prevalence appeared to be in late summer. Size, weight, and sexbiased population dynamics of trematode was well marked in Gangetic river...
