ENDOPARASITOFAUNA OF MONGOLIAN GAZELLE IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE DAURSKY RESERVE

Abstract

Currently, government agencies are increasing interest in the conservation of wild ruminants which are either listed in the Red Book or kept in reserves and national parks. This type of ruminant includes dzeren, or Mongolian gazelle that lives on the territory of the Daursky State Nature Biosphere Reserve between the Tel and Utogi cordons. For purposes of studies for helminths that form the endoparasitofauna, 57 samples of feces were taken which were frozen and delivered for the studies to the Department of Parasitology and Veterinary Inspection of the FSBEI HE MGAVMiB – MBA named after K.I. Scryabin. The studies were carried out according to generally accepted methods, and the following data were obtained - for dzerens that live in the conditions of the Daursky Reserve, there are 2 types of helminths that belong to the class of nematodes Nematodirus spp. and Trichostrongylus spp. The infection intensity of the studied samples was 47.4%. The genus Nematodirus spp. prevails, helminth eggs were found in 23 samples, which is 40.4% of the total number of the samples. In turn, eggs of Trichostrongylus spp. were found in 4 samples, which is 7.0% of the total number of the samples.
