“…Stress is a result of unfavorable environmental factors, which also erode immunity and make a person more susceptible to diseases (Eissa, 2002). The research of helminth parasite variety and distribution began in India in the middle of the 19th century, and multiple works have been completed in various regions of the country by Bhalerao, 1937;Gupta, 1984;Soota, 1981;Sood, 1989;Tondon et al, 2005;Pandey and Agrawal, 2008;and Deshmukh, 2015. The distribution of helminths is not only affected by seasons but also by host age, size, diet, abundance of fishes and an independent number of parasites within the fi sh.…”

The present work deals with the study of population dynamics of Circumoncobothrium Sp. Shinde, 1968 and Senga Sp. Dollfus 1938, from Mastacembelus armatus from different places and fish market at Aurangabad and Beed region for the period of one annual cycle (July 2021 to June 2022). The percentage of incidence, intensity, density and index of infection is recorded along with the influence of seasons on these values during study period.

“…Unfavorable environmental conditions contribute to stress which also weakens the immunity and opens the pathway to pathogens (Eissa, 2002). The study of diversity and distribution of helminths started in the middle of the 19 th century in India and numerous works has been done by Bhalerao, 1937; Gupta, 1984; Soota, 1981; Sood, 1989; Tondon et al ., 2005; Bhure, 2008, Pandey & Agrawal, 2008; Deshmukh, 2015 in different parts of India.…”

SummarySnakehead fishes are widely consumed throughout South East Asia, China and India because of their good taste of meat and high nutrient values such as presence of prostaglandins, thromboxane and Omega-6 fatty acid. Parasitic infection constitutes significant economic loss in fish production. The aim of this work was to study the seasonal variation of helminths in snakeheads. In the presented study, a three-year survey has been performed. A total of 1013 individuals of Channa punctatus and 247 individuals of Channa striatus were examined. A total of 3783 helminths were collected, with an average of 3.02 helminths/fish. 43.50 % individuals of C. punctatus and 59.10 % of C. striatus were found to be infected with acanthocephalans, trematodes, nematodes and cestodes per year. The prevalence and mean abundance of Pallisentis sp. was at its peak in summer. However the prevalence of trematodes, nematodes and cestodes was at peak during autumn. Mean abundance of nematodes was at peak in summer. Interestingly, the males were found more infected as compared to the females and the infection rate in males peaked in summer. In comparison to other weight groups, medium size hosts (21 – 40 g) were found more consistently infected. Thus the results indicate that there are seasonal variations in parasitic helminths infecting C. punctatus and C. striatus which also depend upon sex and weight. These variations may be attributed to various environmental and biological factors including parasite life cycle and immune level of host.
