                Setariidae Yorke and Maplestone, 1926

• Nematodes of the genus Setaria Viborg, 1795 of the family Setariidae have wide distribution and parasitise a wide range of animals.

• For example, they parasitize both even- and odd-toed ungulates of Uzbekistan (Sultanov et al., 1975)  as endoparasites of the abdominal cavity and decrease growth and productivity of the hosts.

• Species diversity, pathogenicity and ecological characteristics of these parasites have not been well studied .

• Setaria parasites have been collected from the abdominal cavity of animals of the families Equidae, Suidae, Bovidae and Cervidae, which are definitive hosts..

• Mosquitos (Anopheles and Culex spp., Diptera) associated with the definitive hosts, transmit the nematodes

• In Uzbekistan, the family Equidae (horse, donkey) were infected only with S. equinа, at an infection rate  between 25.5 and 40.0.

• Host family Suidae (pig) was infected with S. bernardi  at an infection rate between 0.5 and 0.3%.

•  Bovidae (cattle and goat) infected by S. digitata at a rate between 1.0 and 5.0% and by S. labiatopapillosa.

• Cervidae (Bactrian deer and roe) infected by S. cervi at a rate 1.0-5.0%.

• Camelidae (camel), infected by S. labiatopapillosa at a rate between 2.0 and 35.5%.
