Echinococcosis is one of the most dangerous parasitic diseases common to humans and animals. In Kazakhstan, echinococcosis widespread in This study aimed estimate prevalence biological characteristics agricultural animals, dogs, wild carnivores, rodents Western region Republic Kazakhstan.The analyzed slaughtered carcasses cattle (2500), sheep (4200), pigs (250), horses (91), camels (45). Furthermore, 144 dogs (herding, rural, urban), 41 carnivores (wolves, red foxes, corsac foxes), 339 (great gerbils, tamarisk jirds, little ground squirrels, yellow muskrats). Postmortem vital examination methods were used helminthological studies rodents. localization intensity determined by counting echinococcal cysts parenchymatous organs.Extensiveness invasion (EI) averaged 19.2% cattle, 27.5% sheep, 5.6% pigs, 13.3% camels. Echinococcal mainly affected liver (45.4%) lungs (35.5%). The fertility decreased with age Acephalocysts registered cattle. highest invasiveness Echinococcusgranulosus was found herding an EI 12.5%. Experimental infestations showed that maturation eggs occurred days 36-40 segments day 50. Studies presence E. granulosus (imago stage) wolves, Alveococcus multilocularis foxes A. (larval great gerbils muskrats.Our data provide evidence high epizootiological danger for population significant damage caused animal husbandry region. on spread suggest possibility controlling situation human show importance this issue.
