In the present study an attempt has been made to study insect pests associated with stored grains from Karad region. In the present study in all twelve species were recorded. From these order Coleoptera was dominant with ten species followed by order Lepidoptera with two species. Order Coleoptera was reported by four families Viz., Bruchidae, Curculionidae, Tenebrionidae and Anobiidae and order Lepidoptera recorded two families Viz., family Galleridae and Gelechidae.

The study was conducted to collect and identify endo-parasites of fresh water fishes from water bodies of Sina Kolegoan Dam in Dist. Osmanabad (M.S) and to determine the prevalence and intensity of infestation brought about by the endoparasites in the hosts. The host fishes were collected from fresh water Sina Kolegoan Dam. The prevalence of endo-parasites in the fresh water fisheswas 30.38%. The intensities of infestation was2.6. Five parasite species were found from Masacembelusarmatus and channagachua fishes. The parasite groups were Cestodes (Senga sp., Circumoncobothrium sp.),trematodes(Azygia sp.)nematodes (Procamallanussp.) werefound in the fishes collected from Sina Kolegoan Dam. Liver, Air bladder, stomach, intestine and body cavity of the host fishes wereexamined for parasites.The intensity and the prevalence were higher inhost fishes collected from Sina Kolegoan Dam host fishes.

Studies on freshwater free living protozoa has been proved to be important in their applications as bioindicator species, biomonitoring agents in wastewater treatments and defining the climatic and paleoclimatic conditions. Biodiversity of free-living freshwater protozoa has been studied from water bodies around Wai Dist. Satara which is important part of Western Ghats of Maharashtra. Protozoan biodiversity in freshwater bodies around Wai (Dist Satara, M.S. India) was investigated. The totals of 3 classes' 96 protozoa species were identified. Of these, Mastigophora (21 species) followed by Sarcodina (36 species), the majority (39 species), belong to the Ciliophora have been recorded. Most of the protozoans were photographed under Trinocular microscope at 40X x 2MP.
