Abstract

The article presents the results of a study of the species composition and distribution patterns of ectoparasites in service dogs kept at a specialized cynological center in the city of Tashkent. The studies were carried out in 2025–2026 at the National Cynological Center of the Customs Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan on 82 service dogs belonging to 14 breeds. According to the results, ectoparasites were detected in 9 dogs, and the overall prevalence of infestation was 11.0% (95% CI: 5.1–19.8). Morphological identification revealed the ticks Ixodes persulcatus, Dermacentor marginatus, Haemaphysalis punctata and Hyalomma scupense, the fleas Ctenocephalides canis, C. felis and Pulex irritans, and, among lice, Trichodectes canis.
