Abstract
This article analyzes the morphology of the cestode Dipylidium caninum, a parasite of dogs distributed in the Namangan region, and the nucleotide sequence of the rDNA ITS region obtained from the Dipylidium caninum species as a result of molecular genetic studies. The nucleotide sequence of the obtained Dipylidium caninum species showed high similarity with the samples in the GenBank database.References
