Extract

Chand ler (1925) described Echinochasmus perfoliatns as a common parasite of Indian dogs in Calcutta. Bhalerao (1936) reported its occurrence in cats of Calcutta and Mukteswar and Patnaik (1959) in dogs of Orissa. Maplestone and Bhaduri (1940) reported Echinochasmus sp. from dogs in Calcutta. Gupta and Pand e (19G3) mentioned that Echinochasmus is represented in Indian carnivores by three species: E. perfoliatns, E. corvus (Syn. E. caninum) and E. canai.
