- Abstract
Studies on the parasite of prawns are likely to be important due to the commercial value of the prawn. Investigation study about gregarine parasites of M. rosenbergii in Malaysia is still lacking. Objective of this study is to determine the occurrence of gregarine parasites in shrimp, M. rosenbergii from Setiu Lagoon, Terengganu. The study was done specifically to observe the prevalence and the mean intensity of the parasites which include the morphological prevalence and parasitological study. Prevalence of the parasites in this study is 42.4% with 95% Cumulative Index (CI) 25.6% to 59.3% and value of Odd Ratio (OR) is 0.74 (CI = 0.29 to 1.88). Two structures of the gregarine which is gamont and syzygy found in this study are closely related to morphology characteristic of gregarine in the previous report.
