The circulation of pathogen trichinellosis and sparganosis on territories of Kursk region and human`s risk infection

The factors of trichinellosis and sparganosis pathogen circulation as typical zoonotic diseases on the territiry of Kursk region are studied. Trichinella spp. circulates in natural biocoenosis among predacious mammals, wild boars and rodents and sometimes infects sinanthropus animals what gives evidence of human infection. Parasitical system of sparganosis in Kursk region includes definitive (wolf, fox), intermediate (Mesocyclops leuckarti, M. obsoletus) and supplemental (wild boar, grass snake, marsh frog, moor frog) carriers. There is a risk of sparganosis infection when using water containing cyclops and infected meat.

Keywords: zoonosis, trichinellosis, sparganosis, infection risk.
