Abstract

In the present investigation occurrence and pathological changes caused by cestode parasites Lytocestus indicus (Moghe, 1925) in the intestine of freshwater fishes, Clarias batrachus (Linn.) from Ujani reservoir, Dist. Solapur (M.S) India are studied.  Parasites were found attached to the mucus membrane of intestine characterized by excess mucus secretion which resulted in severe degeneration and necrosis in mucosal, submucosal, serosa layer and muscular layers. Histo-pathological examination of infected intestine of C. batrachus revealed epithelial debris and damaged connective tissue cells at the site of the penetration.
