This article presents original data on experimental studies of the life cycles of representatives of oviparous and viviparous filariates-
Aprocta cylindrica Linstow, 1833, Diplotriaena isabellina Koroliowa, 1926, and Ornithofilaria fallisensis Anderson, 1954 at various
stages of ontogenesis, the composition of their intermediate and final hosts of the bird fauna of Uzbekistan. At the same time, the
ecological relationships in the system "definitive host - intermediate host - filaria", as well as the ways of their circulation in various
biocenoses of Uzbekistan, were clarified.
As intermediate hosts of these filariates, parasitizing birds of Uzbekistan, we have registered representatives of arthropods, belonging
mainly to the orders of Erect (Orthoptera) and Diptera (Diptera). It is quite obvious that the development of any preventive measures
can only be based on a detailed knowledge of the biological characteristics of both the parasite and the host that ensure their contact in
the external environment.
