Abstract:

The trematode parasite, Euclinostomum heterostomum infects the fresh water murrels, Channa punctatus and Channa striatus. The parasite damages liver and brings histopathological changes in the infected fish. Histopathological changes include loss of polygonal appearance and rupture of cell membranes, enlargement of hepatocytes. The hepatocytes lost their distinct shape and vacuolation of cytoplasm. Hypertrophy of hepatocytes and perilobular space of the liver shows vacuolation, loosening of hepatic tissue, necrotic effects on hepatocytes. The cytoplasm was not uniform turned into granulated.
