ABSTRACT
In the high-mountainous territories: Kabardino-Balkaria (the village of Upper Baksan, the village of Elbrus, the a/l Dzhantugan, the village of Tegenekli, the village of Baidaevo, the a/l It-kol, Cheget, Terskol, Azau) in the populations of the Mountain Caucasian ground squirrel, 12 cestode species: Raillietina sp., Rodentolepis straminea, Paranoplocephala transversaria, Rodentotaenia bondarevae, Mathevotaenia symmetrica, Paranoplocephala omphalodes, Skrjabinotaenia lobata, Paranoplocephala dentate, Strobilocercus fasciolaris, Cysticercus longycollis, Alveococcus multilocularis and Echinococcus granulosus larvae, which were recorded with different occurrence values, indexes. Of these, 2 species in the region (Alveococcus multilocularis, Echinococcus granulosus) have epidemiological and epizootological significance. Indices of occurrence and abundance of cestode Raillietina sp. amounted to 6.22% and 7.1±0.6 ind./individual, respectively; species Rodentotaenia bondarevae - 3.11% and 3.9±0.4 ind./individual; species Mathevotaenia symmetrica - 4.22% and 5.0±0.5 ind./individual; species Rodentolepis straminea - 5.11% and 6.4±0.7 ind./individual; species Skrjabinotaenia lobata - 2.22% and 4.7±0.5 ind./ind.; species Cysticercus longycollis - 4.00% and 3.5±0.4 ind./ind.; species Strobilocercus fasciolaris - 2.89% and 2.3±0.3 ind./individual; species Paranoplocephala transversaria - 4.67% and 3.8±0.5 ind./individual; species Paranoplocephala omphalodes - 3.56% and 2.6±0.3 ind./individual; Paranoplocephala dentate - 2.44% and 1.8±0.2 ind./ind.; species Echinococcus granulosus larvae - 0.22% and 3.0 ind./ind.; species Alveococcus multilocularis larvae - 0.66% and 4.7±0.5 ind./ind. It can be seen that cestodes were found in 450 ind. of dissected Caucasian ground squirrels, 177 ind. (39.33%), with an average II of 4.07 ± 0.41 ind./ind, which indicates the presence of active cestodosis biotopes in the Alpine subzone. Even a weak distribution of alveococcosis and echinococcosis of the Mountain Gopher in the highlands: Kabardino-Balkaria (Upper Baksan, Elbrus, Dzhantugan, Tegenekli village, Baidaevo, It-kol, Cheget, Terskol, Azau) poses an epizootic and epidemic threat to animals and people. It can be seen that cestodes were found in 39.33% of the dissected Mountain Caucasian ground squirrels, with an average II of 8.4 ind./individual, which indicates the unfavorable cestodosis of rodents of the territories: p. Upper Baksan, Elbrus settlement, a/l Dzhantugan, Tegenekli settlement, Baidaevo settlement, a/l It-kol, Cheget, Terskol, Azau. These points belong to the resort and recreational complex and are densely populated areas and require deratization.
