Present study deals with taxonomical and biochemical studies of nematode parasite Camallanus jadhavii (Jadhav and Khadap, 2003) Pathan et.al., 2011 parasitic in Wallago attu (Bleeker, 1857). The normal intestinal tissue contains more glycogen (31.54 mg / 100 mg), protein (29.28 mg / 100 mg) and lipids (22.40 mg / 100 mg) as compared to infected intestinal tissue (29.12 mg / 100 mg, 28.02 mg / 100mg and 20.16 mg / 100 mg), whereas low biochemical content in nematode parasite Camallanus jadhavii (27.38 mg / 100 mg, 24.80 mg / 100 mg and 18.46 mg / 100 mg. Intestinal parasites were capable of extracting nutritious materials from their host and thus represented a high level in glycogen, protein and lipid.
