ABSTRACT

Fauna and ecology of nematodes of the order Spirurida of carp fishes of artificial and natural reservoirs of Uzbekistan F.D. Akramova, F.E. Safarova, D.A. Azimov, B.B. Soatov The modern species diversity of nematodes from the family Cyprinidae, order Spirurida, in Uzbekistan was studied. The studied fish order is represented by three suborders: Spirurata (8 species), Camallanata (7), Gnathostomata (1). The total number of studied species in the order was 16. The life cycles of the nematodes in question develops with the participation of intermediate, paratenic and definitive hosts. The first include representatives of the orders Copepoda, Ephemeroptera, the second and third – Cyprinidae fish. The evolution of the transmission of infections by intermediate hosts to definitive ones resulted in the development of different types of parasitic system.
