 Mosquito larvae (head and mouth parts), protozoans and worms under Foldscope after preparation of slides. The specimens are collected from the contaminated water sample of Palashani Village under foldscope project by the PI of the project Dr. Saumar Jyoti Mahanta and  Research Assistant- Dr. Utpal Dutta &amp; Dr. Imdadur Rahman, Sibsagar College, Assam.
