Abstract

When studying the endoparasite fauna of agricultural ruminants, it was found that the most diverse fauna of endoparasites in small cattle on the territory of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic in the sheep breeding farm LLC "Muhu", where parasitism of one species of trematodes was found: Dicrocoelium lanceatum, one species of cestodes: Moniezia benedeni, one suborder, five genera and three species of nematodes: Strongylata, Protostrongylus, Nematodirus, Bunostomum, Nematodirella, Trichocephalus, Muellerius capillaris, Dictyocaulus filaria and Strongyloides papillosus and one genus of protozoa – Eimeria. All of these pathogens parasitize both in the form of mono- and mixed invasions. In the Zolsky district of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, two genera and one species of trematodes were identified: Fasciola, Paramphistomum, Dicrocelium lanceatum, one suborder and two genera of nematodes: Strongylata, Trichocephalus, Protostrongylus, and one genus of protozoa, Eimeria. The dominant invasions on the territory of the North Caucasus are strongylatoses of the gastrointestinal tract.
