The communication, dealing with the prevalence of protozoan parasites of the ornamental fish of West Bengal. During the study more than five hundred fish have been examined from five districts namely, Nadia, Hooghly, Howrah, North 24-pargana and South 24-pargana of West Bengal during pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon season. The study reveals that the intensity of infection is more in case of ciliate parasites. The highest ectoparasitic infection has been recorded during post-monsoon season, i.e. from November to February, followed by the pre-monsoon period while the lowest infection was recorded during monsoon i.e. from July to October which may lead to the conclusion that environmental factors are responsible for spreading infection.
该通讯涉及西孟加拉邦观赏鱼原生动物寄生虫的流行情况。在研究过程中，于季风前、季风期和季风后季节，从西孟加拉邦的五个地区，即纳迪亚、胡格利、豪拉、北24帕根纳和南24帕根纳检查了五百多条鱼。研究表明，纤毛虫寄生虫的感染强度更大。最高的体外寄生虫感染记录于季风后季节，即11月至2月，其次是季风前时期，而最低感染记录于季风期，即7月至10月，这可能得出环境因素导致感染传播的结论。
