Abstract

The article presents data on the composition of the helminthofauna of the gastrointestinal tract in agricultural and wild ruminants belonging to private farms and reserves located on the territory of the Russian Federation. Studies have shown that the helminthofauna of the gastrointestinal tract of agricultural ruminants is represented by cestodes from the genus Moniezia (EI=0,62 %) and nematodes from the suborder Strongylata (EI=58,93 %) and the genera Nematodirus (EI=6,58 %), Trichocephalus (EI=7,21 %). In turn, the study of helminthofauna of wild animals revealed trematodes Euritrema pancreaticum (EI=2,50 %) and Dicrocelium lanceatum (EI=0,41 %), as well as nematodes from the suborder Strongylata (EI=8,33 %) and genera Nematodirus (EI=5,41 %) and Capillaria (EI=1,25 %). Research results show that strongylatoses of the gastrointestinal tract are the most common.
