Abstract

This study aimed to estimate the parasitic infestation of an indigenous freshwater fish, Glossogobius giuris collected from different wetlands of Savar Upazila during November, 2013 to June, 2014. A total of 80 host fishes were examined during the study period of which 38 fishes were found infected by numerous helminth parasites. In all 58 parasites belonging to ten species were recorded from the surveyed hosts. Among them four were monogenetic trematodes, four were digenetic trematodes and two species were acanthocephalans. The prevalence, intensity and abundance of parasitic infection was a bit higher in female fish than in male. The highest level of infection was observed for host intestine, while lower levels were observed for host body cavity. In particular, the results also revealed that the prevalence, intensity and abundance of parasites of Glossogobius giuris varied with the season. Prevalence, intensity and abundance of the infestation were also found to be related to different length group of the hosts, the medium sized fishes (10.1-15.1) were more infested than the larger sized fishes (15.2-20.2) were less infested while the smaller sized fishes (5-10) showed medium infestation.
