CRENOSOMOSIS (<i>CRENOSOMA VULPIS, RUDOLPHI, 1819</i>) OF WOLVES ON THE TERRITORY OF TRANSBAIKAL TERRITORY
Wild and domestic carnivores are the hosts of a large number of helminthes. Diseases caused by helminths often have the status of zoonotic helminthiasis, which are widely distributed all over the world. Information about wolves infestation by pathogens Crenosomavulpis in the wild nature is extremely fragmented and insufficient. The study of nematodes of the genus CrenosomaMolin, 1861 on the Transbaikal Territory is necessary for the timely detection and prevention of the spread of this helminthes that cause more severe infection in wild and domestic carnivores.Observations, data collection and study of pathological material were carried out on the territory of research veterinary hospital at the Eastern Siberia Research Institute of Veterinary Science, situated in the Akshinsky District, Transbaikal Territory. For the first time in the course of coprologic studies we detected crenosomosisof wolves (Canis lupus, Linnaeus, 1758) on the Transbaikal Territory. As to wolves, C. vulpis infestation rate amounts to 16.6 % and intensity of infestation is 38 specimens/head.
