title: [The life cycle and fine morphology of the embryophores in Microsomacanthus paraparvula (Cestoda: Hymenolepididae), a parasite of diving ducks in Chukotka].
abstract: It was found out, that the cestode Microsomacanthus paraparvula Regel, 1994 being a common parasite of diving ducks in Chukotka uses a caddisfly Grensia praeteria (Trichoptera) as an intermediate host in its life cycle. Mature fragments of the cestode have been collected from droppings of the experimentally infected nestling of the kittiwake Rissa tridactyla (non-specific host) and used for the fine morphology study of embryonic shells and for an infection of intermediate hosts.
