Abstract
Based on the veterinary and sanitary inspection of carcasses and internal organs, three types of larval cestodes were diagnosed: Echinococcus granulosus, Cysticercus taenuicollis and Coenurus cerebralis. Larval echinococcosis of the liver and lungs was registered in sheep in 23,6 % of cases, and in cattle lung lesions were recorded in 1,2 % of animals. Tenuicolic cysticercosis was identified in 4,6 % of sheep carcasses and 0,9 % of cattle. C. cerebralis was found in the brain of only two sheep heads. Small cattle of their southern and central regions of the Russian Federation are intensively invaded: echinococcosis in the Volgograd region, the Republics of Karachay-Cherkessia and Dagestan – 93,0; 57,1 and 34,3 %, and cysticercosis of serous integuments in the Orel, Ryazan, Kaluga regions and the Karachay-Cherkess Republic: 36,4; 33,3; 33,3 and 22,4 % respectively.
