Description :
The present study deals with the description of fish infection of trypanosome species found infecting the fresh water fish Channa marulius from river Wainganga, Chandrapur District, Maharashtra, India, and evaluating the hematological parameters of the infected fish. Trypanosome is widespread parasite in freshwater fishes, causing disease trypanosomiasis. This study was implemented to verify the infection with Trypanosoma sp. report the cellular intervening through inflammatory response in blood smears of infected fishes. Present investigation deals with the hematological studies on Channa marulius an economically important freshwater fish, with reference to trypanosome infection ,75 % of Channa marulius population from Wainganga river system, showed trypanosome infection. This severe infection resulted decrease in total W.B.C count and total R.B.C. Significantly decreases Small lymphocytes count has shown due to infection. Also, there is co-relation between number of lymphocytes and various polymorphic stages of trypanosomes. Red dark circle, lesions on body, sluggishness in body movements are symptom of infection and swelling of body at pectoral fin region.
