Abstract

Helminthozoonosis pose particular danger to people, and cause economic and environmental damage. The purpose of the work was to identify the current epizootic situation of helminthozoonosis of game animals in the Central Region of Russia. The material for the study was helminthological collections from game animals. Studies were carried out throughout 2019-2021. Killed animals were brought from hunting farms in the Central Region of Russia. Animal carcasses or their fragments were subjected to complete or partial helminthological examination. The found helminths were differentiated according to conventional determinants. A total of 182 carcasses of animals and birds were studied. 108 animals of 13 species belonging to Carnivora were studied by helminthological methods. One species of the Omnivorae was studied: the wild boar. Among ruminants (Ruminantia), 35 artiodactyls were studied. Helminth fauna of rodents (Rodentia) was studied in 33 animals of 5 species. Two species of birds (Aves) were studied. We identified about 14 types of helminthozoonosis, of which pathogens of trichinellosis, dirofilariasis, toxocariasis and alveococcosis are particularly dangerous. The main hosts and reservoirs of zoonosis are carnivores.
