V.M. Kostjunin


Non-game birds (Lariformes, Charadriiformes, Passeriformes) take part in circulation of 12 species of helminthes, parasitizing in domestic and marketable animals. Among them are the pathogenic representatives causing such helminthosis as plagiorchosis, prosthogonimosis, echinoparyphiosis, echinostomatiosis, cotylurosis and syngamosis. E. revolutum observed in humans, is registered in Larus ridibundus, Corvus cornix and C. frugilogus. Non-marketing mammals (Rodentia, Chiroptera, Eulipotyia) are the hosts to 20 species of helminthes, general for a dog, a cat, marketing representatives of predatory animals and rodents. Among them are Plagiorchis muris, Hymenolepis diminuta, Taenia grassiceps, Hydatigera taeniaformis, Trichostrongylus colubriformis, Trichinella spiralis, recorded as humans parasites.
