Abstract
The article presents preliminary results on ectoparasites of small ruminants (sheep as a case study) in the Karaozak district of the Republic of Karakalpakstan. In autumn 2026, a clinical and parasitological examination was carried out on the “Kobeysin” farm (S. Kamalov rural community) of 218 local-breed sheep, 20 animals were examined by wool combing and visual inspection. The chewing louse Bovicola ovis was found in 12 of 20 examined animals (prevalence 60%, 95% confidence interval 36.1–80.9%), with infestation intensity ranging from 12 to 18 lice per animal. Because the sample was small, the results cannot be generalized to the whole farm or district; nevertheless, they indicate a high level of sheep bovicolosis in the examined farm in autumn and provide a basis for further seasonal monitoring and for planning preventive measures.
