The technology of preventing ecological and economic damage caused by echinococcosis

Abstract

The article presents the data about the mechanism of transmitting echinococcosis from the source of infection to a susceptible animal. It has been found that the main sources of infection are sick dogs, and, more rarely, wild animals. The factors that promote the spread of echinococcosis are home-slaughtering cattle, feeding the viscera of slaughtered animals to dogs, failure to observe the deadlines and the methods of dogs dehelminthization, poor dogs dehelminthization scale, and unordered dog keeping. The article also presents the results of the studies for comparative assessment of various methods of coproovoscopic diagnosing helminthoses in dogs.
