A total of 296 Indian major carps (IMC) were examined for nematode infestation for a period between January, 2004 and December, 2004. Catia catla showed highest infestation followed by Lxiheo rohita and the least prevalence was observed in Cirrhinus mrigala. Rainy season showed highest occurrence of nematode infestation. The chance of an IMC to get infected by nematodes having zoonotic potential was very less.
