The life cycle of the nematode was discovered, the range of its intermediate and final hosts was estimated. First within the order Filariata, the ability to infect paratenic hosts was found for D. rheae. The structure of D. rheae parasite system under the conditions of "Askania-Nova" virgin steppe was investigated. The complex of ecological factors affecting the system stability was studied.
