Abstract

Although there are many heartening studies  have been done on the parasitic helminthes of  vertebrates but there are serious deficiencies in  checklist of trematodes Allocreadium Looss  (Digenea: Allocreadiidae). The present study  based on the literature survey to tabulate  biodiversity of Allocreadium Looss reported from  various hosts in the India and worldwide so far.  Allocreadium sp. is one of the most important  parasitic digenean trematode with wide  geographic distribution range across the world.  The findings reflected that these trematodes  infecting very wide range of hosts from  invertebrates to vertebrates. About 104  Allocreadium sp. have been summarized in  present review recovered from various hosts  including 44 Indian species as well. As the  aquaculture playing a key role in the food  security and economy of country that is  deteriorating due to heavy parasitic load in  fishes. Therefore, awareness, knowledge of  biodiversity and causes of parasites should be in  the society at grassroots level. The authors wish  to suppose that current review might be helpful  in the strategic management of aquaculture for  health, economy and sustainable development.
