Abstract

A database with all available published accounts on the trichodind species was gathered. They are mainly fish parasites and are also found to infect anuran and molluscs. This information, along with records derived from recently work done in our laboratory that helps to generate a checklist containing all the records, for carrying out the work in this field. This is a must need step to address future questions in the areas of ecology, evolutionary biology and biogeography of these host-parasite interaction. The checklist is a host-parasite based and contains sixty nominal species belonging to five genera of Trichodind family of ciliate parasites.
