Abstract

Coproscopic studies of European bison feces revealed that animals were infected by Fasciola hepatica, Monezia expansa, Strongylata in gastrointestinal tract as well as by Dictyocaulus viviparus, and some of intestine protozoa. To determine conditions facilitating E. bison infection by helminthes, to establish the possibility of mutual infections between E. bison and other wild and farm animals living on the same territory, ecological conditions of the home range of E. bison in this area were analyzed.
