Abstract
Karyotype of the trematodes Opisthorchis felineus from two populations of the Ob' and the Tom' river basins in the South-East of the West Siberian plain was investigated. Comparative anаlysis of relative length and centromere indexes of 7 chromosomes revealed their identity with those of the trematodes from the lower and upper reach of the Irtysh river. The quality of chromosome spreads allowed improving the former knowledge about the structure of the karyotype of this species, in particular the 6th and 7th chromosomes.
