The snake head fishes collected during the study period were found to be infected with the larval nematode parasite, <em>Contracaecum </em>sp. The mean prevalence of infection of the parasite on <em>Channa striatus </em>was 63.75%. The mean intensity was 1.22 and the relative density recorded was 0.76.The present study represents a new locality record for the larval nematode parasite, <em>Contracaecum</em> sp.</p> 2022-12-18T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2022 Sustainability, Agri, Food and Environmental Research
