Catfishes, Trichodina heterodontata (Deccan, 1977 Redescribed), Masooli reservoir.

The ciliated protozoa from family trichodinidae distributed worldwide, which are considered some of the main parasitological agents infecting fresh water catfishes. The genus Trichodina was isolated from skin and gills of Wallago attu in the month of September 2013 from Masooli reservoir. 38 slides were prepared by using silver nitrate impregnation technique (Kein, 1926-58) and stained with Giemsa for assessment under light microscopy. Out of 38 slides, 05 slides were identified by scraping skin of infected catfishes. The present Trichodina species is medium in size, disc-shaped having 44 to 46µm in diameter. The adhesive disc is 35.2 to 46.1µm in diameter. The denticle blade is sickle-shaped with pointed ends. The numbers of radial pins per denticles are 10 (9-11). After going through the comparison of previous species with the present species, it is found that it is very close to Trichodina heterodontata (Deccan, 1977). Therefore, it is redescribed as Trichodina heterodontata (Deccan, 1977).
