Morphological and biological features of parthenogenetic and dioecious generations Schistosoma turkestanicum Skrjabin, 1913.

The purpose of the research is to study of the morphological and biological characteristics of parthenogenetic and dioecious generations of the trematode Schistosoma turkestaniсum – a parasite of mammals of Uzbekistan.Materials and methods. Populations of mature trematodes from animals and mollusks Lymnaea auricularia from different types of water bodies of Uzbekistan were collected and studied. Experimentally reproduced the development of trematodes in the body of the intermediate and definitive hosts according to generally accepted methods.Results and discussion.The morphological and biological features of all phases of the development of Sch. turkestanicum under experimental conditions. Some new data on the morphology of the parasite having taxonomic meanings and the distribution of Sch. turkestanicum in Uzbekistan.
