| Abstract | ||||
| In the present study, a total of 16 specimens of the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) and 19 specimens of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio), collected from natural freshwater bodies in the Jizzakh, Navoi, Bukhara, and Khorezm regions of Uzbekistan, were examined using both complete and partial helminthological techniques. A total of 113 first-stage (L1) and 78 third-stage (L3) larvae belonging to the genus Contracaecum (Railliet & Henry, 1912) were isolated. These larvae were morphologically identified as Contracaecum rudolphii (Hartwich, 1964) at both L1 and L3 developmental stages. The isolated larvae were then subjected to detailed morphological, morphometric, and molecular-genetic analyses. | ||||
