During the helminthological survey of non-native fishes in Meerut region, UP, India, specimens of genus Bothriocephalus were collected from introduced fish green swordtail Xiphophorus hellerii Heckel, 1848, a native of North and Central America. The morphological and molecular study inferred with partial sequence of 18S and 28S rRNA confirmed the specimens as B. acheilognathi. Phylogenetic analysis further confirmed its taxonomic status, as it comes under the same clade formed by B. acheilognathi species reported from other geographical regions. This study first time describes the molecular identification of B. acheilognathi from India. The findings of the study also established its ecological impact in northern parts of India and highlights that low degree of host specificity can affect the native fish resources of India.
