18 land mollusks participate in circulation of pulmonary Protostrongylidae larvae being the parasites of the Caucasian tur (Capra Caucasica Guldinstaedt). Helicella derbentina, H. crenimargo, Chondrula tridens, Pomatias rivelare, Cepaca vindobonensis and Xeropicta candaharica have the most high density settling. The rates by Protostrongylidae larvae infection in mollusks in river ravines are low (2,9%) and in areas with thick grass – are high (12,5%).
