Distribution and morphology of the cestode shizocotyle acheilognathi in pond fish farming in Uzbekistan
Abstract
This article presents the morphology of cestode Schyzocotyle acheilognathi found in fish from large fisheries of the Fergana, Syrdarya and Tashkent regions of our Republic. The research has shown that 22 out of 225 fish samples of three studied species (Cyprinus carpio, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Ctenopharyngodo nidella) were infected with S. acheilognathi, with the highest infection rate recorded in the Tashkent region (12 %). The average length of parasitic cestodes was 15.30±0.42 mm, body width 0.204±0.006 mm, scolex length 1.2±0.02 mm. The egg length was found to be 0.55±0.04 mm and width 0.045±0.006 mm.
