Hold-Fast Organs of Piscean and Avian Cestode Parasites with Special Emphasis on Histopathology

ABSTRACT
Present study deals with hold-fast organs and pathological changes induced by certain Piscean
and avian Cestode parasites collected from Maharashtra State India. Hold-fast organs of tapeworms
are important for attachment and adhesion. These organs of attachment are in the form of muscular
suckers, rostellum, spines, hooks, tentacles etc. The work on hold-fast organs of Piscean and avian
cestode parasites is essential for research in taxonomy and histopathology. Hence, the present study
was undertaken on the role and status of diversity of holdfast organs with special reference to
histopathology of Piscean and avian cestodes collected from Maharashtra State, India. Cestode
parasites were collected and studied from certain fishes and birds from different localities of
Maharashtra.
