Pulmonary Strongylata in wild ruminants in the Chechen Republic.
 

Gadaev H.H. Chechen Scientific Research Institute of Agriculture.

Summary. The increased humidity provides conditions for rapid development of Protostrongilidae larvae of first stage in host excrements. Abundance of mollusks in wetted biotopes creates the opportunity for larvae to penetrate to the intermediate hosts. Infective larvae have the ability to active migration vertically and horizontally. Humidity appears to be the main factor which regulates the rapid of vertical migration and infection intensity level is dependent on biotope humidity and it is varied in different geographical zones.
