Paradactylogyrus are small monogenean ectoparasites found mostly on the gills of Cyprinidae and are
highly host specific. Conventionally these parasites are
identified by microscopic analysis. In contrast to this
conventional method, molecular identification using
nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) provides specific, sensitive and safe detection of parasites. The present study is
aimed to identify the Paradactylogyrus on Catla catla
using morphological and molecular tools. Morphologically
the parasite is having hamuli, marginal hooks, bars and
copulatory organs which differentiate it from other monogeneans. The parasite is having unpaired central spine,
tubular cirrus and extracaecal vitellaria. 28s rDNA study
revealed that the species is P. catlaius and the sequence
was submitted to Genbank (accession no. KF269531). The
study suggests that morphological characters along with
molecular study are essential for validating and identifying
the monogeneans. This is the first published sequence of
species from the genus Paradactylogyrus (Thapar 1948).
