Abstract

Objective of research: The study of biology and life cycles of some filarial species - parasites of birds in Uzbekistan.

Material and methods. More than 15 thousand orthopterans of the family Acrididae were collected and studied according to the standard methods of entomology and parasitology. Birds were infected with filarial larvae found in orthopterans.

Results and discussion: Infective larvae of two nematode species Aprocta cylindrica and Diplotriaena isabellina  were discovered in 6 orthopterous species of the family Acrididae in a number of Uzbekistan regions. The role of locusts as new intermediate hosts for these nematode species is experimentally established.

Keywords: nematodes, filariids, orthopterans, locusts, Uzbekistan.
