Effect Of Nematode Infection On Haematological Parameters Of Clarias Batrachus

The haematological parameters are influenced by a number of physical chemical and biological factors. Nematode (Round worm) infection in Clarias batrachus caused haematological changes. It led to reduction in the haemoglobin content and packed cells volume (PCV), and caused erythropacnia and leucocytosis. The parasitic infection causes reduction in haemoglobin content and PCV due to erythropenia. On the contrary, leucocytosis was due to nematode infestation.
