Larvae of the parasitic dioctophymatid
nematode, Eustrongylides Jägerskiöld, 1909, infect
various freshwater fishes. They prefer warm waters and
are often found in water bodies that experience pollution
and eutrophication. A total of 1180 samples of fish
belonging to 12 species from Nagawara lake were
examined for the occurrence of Eustrongylides larvae
and among them, Glossogobius giuris of the family
Gobiidae was found infested with the parasite.
Prevalence of the parasite was highest (40%) during
pre-monsoon season coinciding with the highest
temperature and pH. However, mean intensity (4.88) and
abundance (1.77) were highest in the post-monsoon.
Eustrongylides sp. is zoonotic, and makes this study
relevant and warns consumers from having raw or
undercooked fish.
