The present communication records the prevalence of myxozoan (Myxozoa : Myxosporea : Bivalvulida) parasites of the genera Myxobolus Butschli, 1882 and Thelohanellus Kudo, 1933 in different food fishes of West Bengal, India. The host fishes were collected from river Damodar in the district of Bankura, West Bengal. There are 10 different genera of host fishes which belong to as many as 8 families of Bony fishes, viz., Cobitidae, Ambassidae, Channidae, Gobiidae, Bagridae, Mastacembelidae, Cyprinidae, Belonidae. The myxoaoans have been found infecting the fins, operculum, gills as well as the internal organs like intestine and kidney too. The rate of infections was comparatively higher in the winter months. Monthly prevalence of the myxozoan infections along with the genera and families of host fishes are summarised in this communication.

The present study records the prevalence of myxozoan (Myxozoa: Myxosporea) infections of some fishes collected from the river Damodar in Mejia area of Bankura district, West Bengal. During the calendar year 2014, in all 17 species of fishes belonging to nine families were examined, of which five species belonging to two families, viz., Cyprinidae and Bagridae were found to be infected with three different myxozoan genera, viz., Myxobolus Butschli, 1882, Thelohanellus Kudo, 1933 and Henneguya Thelohan, 1892. The rate of infection was comparatively higher during the winter seasons. Monthly prevalence of the myxozoan infection in fishes is communicated.Keywords
