Abstract
During parasitological surveys in Chittagong, Bangladesh two species of trichodinid ectoparasites belonging to the genera Tripartiella Lom, 1959 and Trichodina Ehrenberg, 1830 were collected from the gills of Rita rita (Hamilton, 1822) and Channa striata (Bloch, 1793) from January to December 2001.
