[Branchiopods--intermediate hosts of the cestode Anomolepis averini (Spassky et Yurpalova, 1967)(Cestoda: Dilepididae)].

In the biocoenosis of the lake Tengiz (Central Kazakhstan) Artemia salina (3.3%) and Branchinella spinosa (0.22%) were found to be infected with larvae of cestodes--delipidids Anomolepis avertini (Spassky et Yurpalova, 1967). Phalaropus lobatus from this water body was also infected (13.7) with this cestode, the infection intensity being from 1 to 15 strobiles in one bird. Figures and morphological description of cysticercoids and mature cestodes of Anomolepis averini are given.
