Article Synopsis
- Five infected fish specimens of Mystus vittatus from the Meerut region were found to have new monogenean parasites from the genus Cornudescoides.
- Two new species were identified: C. kulkarnii, characterized by specific head organ arrangements and unique cirrus structure; and C. susanii, which has more head organs and distinct hook and anchor features.
- This study contributes new knowledge to the classification of freshwater monogeneans in the area.
Article Synopsis
- The chemical 5-bromo indoxyl acetate has been used to study the nervous system of the viviparous monogenean Cornudescoides Kulkarni, a gill parasite found on the fish Mystus vittatus.
- The central nervous system features paired cerebral ganglia with anterior and posterior neuronal pathways, interconnected by cross connectives and commissures, along with various nerve cords.
- The peripheral nervous system includes innervations for the alimentary tract, reproductive organs, and attachment organs, with both systems showing bilateral symmetry and a more developed ventral arrangement.
