Bio-Chemical Aspect of Proteocephalidean Tapeworms in Freshwater Cat Fish, Wallago attu (Blosch, Schneider, 1801)

The bio-chemical aspect of the cestode parasite is a unique growing field in the tropical and sub-tropical areas. The parasitic bio-chemistry having great importance in the chemotherapy and vaccine production, and a understanding of the complex association involved in the host parasite relationship. However, the information in regards with the bio-chemistry is unlimited. Proteocephalidean tapeworms are the most pathogenic in freshwater fish Wallago attu. The present investigation deals with the bio-chemistry (Protein, Glycogen and fats) of proteocephalidean parasites in freshwater predatory fish, Wallago attu (Blosch and Schneider, 1801).
