ABSTRACT
Present study deals with biochemical contents viz. glycogen, proteins and lipids which were estimated in normal,
infected intestine and their relevant six species of pseudophyllidean tapeworm of genus Senga10 viz. S. maharashtrii14,
S.jadhavae1, S. madhavae2, S. satarensis3, S. mangalbaiae4 and S.microrostellata6, parasitic in Mastacembelus
armatus17. The normal intestinal tissue contained more glycogen, protein and lipids as compared to infected intestinal
tissue, where was low biochemical content in all the species of the genus Senga. Intestinal parasites were capable of
extracting nutritious materials from their host and thus represented a high level in glycogen, protein and lipid.
Key words :Biochemical content, Mastacembelus armatus17, Senga 10.
