“…This could be due to the reason that, gills are the center of filter feeding food behavior of fish and are the sites of gaseous exchange to breath. This observation supported the study conducted by Mandal et al (2016) that reported parasites were prevalent at a highest rate in gill (37%) of A. testudineus followed by outer body layer (35%) and intestine (28%) in India. According to Roberts and Somerville (1982), the sieving ability of the gill rakers may help to trap some organisms, and this could be attributed to the presence of the protozoan parasites there.…”

The study was conducted to identify the protozoan parasites and to determine their occurrence and diversity in climbing perch, Anabas testudineus (Bloch, 1972). The sample fish species were collected from mid-October, 2018 to end of the December 2018 from freshwater bodies of Mymensingh, Kishoregonj, Faridpur and Jashore districts. Three species of myxozoa (Henneguya mystusia, Henneguya qadrii and Henneguya acerinae) and 4species of ciliophora (Trichodina acuta, Trichodina spp., Epistylis lwoffi and Amphileptus disciformis) were identified in A. testudineus. Approximately 76.19% of total fish species were infected by at least one of the parasites with average load of 71.38±32.26 per infected host. Myxozoans (97.55%) were clearly dominant group than chiliophorans (2.45%). The highest prevalence of parasitic infection was observed in the fishes of Mymensingh (100%) and lowest in Jashore (40%).The association of parasitic infection of H. mystusia (p=0.018), H. qadrii (p= 0.00044), H. acerinae (p=0.003), Trichodina acuta (p= 0.052)and A. disciformis (p= 0.023) with study area was statistically significant. Protozoan parasites were most abundant in gills of the hosts. Shannon Diversity Index indicated that hosts were not infested by more parasites and the parasite community was poorly diverged in all study sites but Simpson’s Diversity Index showed that, parasites community was moderately diverged in host fish of Mymensingh area and in rest of areas they were poorly diverged.

Cryptocaryon irritans (Brown, 1951) is a ciliated protozoan that was first described by Sikama, 1 who reported that it infected more than 45 fish species reared in marine aquaria. It was later renamed Ichthyophthirius marinus based on its cellular morphology, which is very similar to that of I. multifiliis, a parasitic ciliate of freshwater fish. 2 However, in 1951, Brown 3 re-described this parasite, which was found in imported fish, and named it C. irritans. This name is still in use today.
