Abstract
Parasitic biochemistry is an arena which is emerging in parallel with the new surge of interest in tropical diseases. The previously known parasitologists have been known to adopt biochemical methodology in order to stay up-to-date of development. The main source of energy for cestode inhabiting the alimentary tract of vertebrates is glucose. Proteins and lipids are also crucial and play many important biological roles. The protein content of the parasites adapted to parasitic mode of life typically constitute 20 to 40 percent of their dry weight, while as older proglottids are known to contain higher contents of lipid. The present study deals with biochemical estimation of cestode parasites and its host (Normal and infected intestinal tissue of Mastacembelus armatus) from Nasik district. The result show higher concentration of lipid in parasites than its host.
Highlights
Fishes are economically important to human being having major source of biomolecules like protein, lipid, and glycogen
The parasites were collected from the intestine of Mastacembelus armatus and cleaned in distilled water
The values of biochemical estimation of senga sp. and Mastacembelus armatus shown in the table
Summary
Fishes are economically important to human being having major source of biomolecules like protein, lipid, and glycogen. Parasitic disease of fish is very common throughout the world. Glycogen is the main structural component of tissue as major energy reserve and as phosphorylated intermediate. Glycogen is the main reserve polysaccharides in cestode (John barret., 1981).
