Abstract

The present investigation was carried out in freshwater fishes from vishnupuri dam which Mastacembalus armatus, Channa punctatus (Bloch) and Wallago attu (Bleaker, 1857) collected from Vishnupuri dam. Among freshwater fishes were contaminated with cestode parasite during dissection of fishes. Three species were detected viz. Circumonchobothria sp. Gangasia sp. and Senga sp.

In the Present study, freshwater fishes from Vishnupuri dam infected with cestode parasite were recorded high incidence of cestode infection in all these host were recorded high prevalence of cestode infection in May month and it was 38.46%, in April month 30.43% and followed by march 20.83% and also least in month of January and Feb 2025 respectively.
