Parasitofauna of laboratory rodents

Mice and rats are widely used in research laboratories for experiments, as well as various rodents contain as domestic favorites. At present, there is very little information about rodent helminthosis in Russia and it is of a cliff nature, in particular in laboratory animals, so research in this area is very relevant at the moment. In this regard, the purpose of our work was to study the parasitophauna of laboratory animals. Rats and mice of isolated populations were the subject of the study. Feces samples were collected from the animals for helminthological studies. Partial helminthological autopsy of mice for detection of sex-mature parasite individuals was performed. The extent and intensity of the invasion was calculated. Laboratory animals are quite common, infected with parasites during the studies we have more often been registered cestodes and helminths from the class Nematoda. Thus, in white mice 9 species of helminths were registered, of which 4 species of cestodes and 5 species of nematodes...
