Abstract
Three parasitic gut worms, one cestode and two acanthocephalan species, have been recorded from two fresh water live fishes (Channa punctatus and Channa striatus) of Channidae family from West Bengal, India for the first time. These parasites were revealed from new host species which were hitherto not reported till now. The cestode is Bothriocephalus acheilognathi (Family Bothriocephalidae) and the acanthocephalans are Pallisentis ophiocephali (family Quadrogyridae) and Neoechinorhynchus sootai (family Neoechinorhynchidae). In this communication, the morphological studies of prevailing cestode and two acanthocephalan species were also incorporated.
