The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence and pathology of Sacculina beauforti infection on box crab Calappa lophos in the Southeast coast of India from January to December 2019-2021. About 340 Sacculina infested calappa lophos were collected and the overall prevalence was recorded as 13.08%. Among the four seasons, the maximal infection was recorded in summer 2020 (23.21%) and the minimum infection was noted in pre- monsoon (11.52%). Male and female crab was not significantly different in case of infection rate (p>0.05). The externae on crab was identified as Sacculina beauforti. Histological sections of S.beauforti infected hosts showed vacuolization, elongated haemocytes on hepatopancrease. The current study will serve as a baseline data on the prevalence of castrating parasiting infection in box crab of Southeast coast of India. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
