seasonal changes in infrapopulations of diplozoon kashmirensis kaw, 1950 (monogenea: diplozoidae) along a eutrophic gradient.	seasonal population dynamics of the monogenean, diplozoon kashmirensis kaw, on the gills of two cyprinid fish species, schizothorax niger heckel and carassius carassius (linnaeus), was investigated in three limnologically distinct trophic habitats located along the flood plain of river jhelum in kashmir from june 2006 to may 2008. the parasite infrapopulations exhibited a marked seasonal regime in infestation pattern as the infection indices increased to a much higher plateau during summer seaso ...	2013	23873615
metacercariae of clinostomum schizothoraxi kaw, 1950 (digenea: clinostomatidae) in carassius carassius (linnaeus) under different environmental conditions.	this report addresses the possible impacts of local habitat characteristics on the metacercariae of clinostomum schizothoraxi kaw, 1950 infecting crucian carp, carassius carassius (linnaeus), from three lakes in kashmir. the lakes chosen encompass an extremely wide gradient in trophic status--manasbal (less polluted and mesotrophic), dal (moderately polluted and eutrophic) and anchar (strongly polluted and hypertrophic). the results indicate that infrapopulation-level descriptors of abundance of ...	2013	23724736
trophic status and helminth infracommunities of fish populations in kashmir himalayan lakes.	the present study considers the influence of the trophic status of three kashmir himalayan lakes on the patterns of helminth infracommunities in populations of three species of fish during 2006 to 2008. data were collected from three lakes of differing trophic status in the kashmir himalayas, namely anchar, a hyper(eu)trophic lake; dal, a eutrophic lake; and manasbal, a meso(eu)trophic lake. three species of fish examined included the native fish schizothorax niger heckel and two exotic species- ...	2014	23510501
