Basic scientific achievements

The micromorphological observation of different populations of molluscs from Melanopsisgenus  was done for the first time. The 33 new species for the science were described for the first time. Classificational significant results of the morphobiological structure of the trematodes were gained. Formation and generation ways of virgulae were determined and paid attention it’s significance for the taxonomic identification of trematodes. Particular importance of chatetoxy in the classification of trematodes were shown and also remarked than we can use this not only as a differentiating but also as a integrating feature. The dynamics of change of molluscs trematode fauna depending on season, structer of mollusc population, age structer and the type of water basin was shown  for the first time. In the territory of Republic were detected trematode focies that are wery pathogen for human and animals.
