In Uzbekistan, where millions of domestic dogs coexist with humans, the diversity of vector\u2010borne pathogens carried by ectoparasites remains largely unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the diversity and prevalence of lice and pathogens carried by fleas and lice collected from domestic dogs in Uzbekistan. Ectoparasites were collected from 77 dogs across five regions and subjected to morphological identification and molecular analysis. The 47 lice collected were identified as\n                    <jats:italic>Trichodectes canis<\/jats:italic>\n                    Fabricius, 1780 (Psocodea: Trichodectidae),\n                    <jats:italic>Linognathus africanus<\/jats:italic>\n                    Kellogg and Paine, 1911 (Psocodea: Linognathidae) and\n                    <jats:italic>Bovicola bovis<\/jats:italic>\n                    Linnaeus, 1758 (Phthiraptera: Trichodectidae), alongside with 197 fleas.
