Abstract

EPIDEMIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF PARASITE FAUNA IN Apodemus uralensis (Pallas, 1771) FROM VARIOUS BIOTOPES OF THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA The aim of the study was to determine the epidemiological characteristics of the parasite fauna in the host Apodemus uralensis (Pallas, 1771) from different natural and anthropized biotopes of the Republic of Moldova. The taxonomic structure of the parasitic species is divided into 3 classes, 10 families, 12 genera and 13 species, of which 6 species belong to the Cestoda class, with a share of 46.1% of the total species, 5 species – to the Secernentea class with a share of 38.5%, and 2 species – to the Adenophorea class, constituting 15.4% of the total identified species. Nosologically, the helminthoses fall into 2 categories: Cestodoses (teniosis/cysticercosis, mesocestoidosis, paranoplocephalosis, catenoteniosis, skrjabinoteniosis) and Nematodoses (syphaciosis, strongyloidosis, capillariosis, heligmosomosis, tricurosis, rodentolepiosis, mastophorosis). The epidemiological characteristic includes 3 categories of parasitoses: zoonotic (syphaciasis, strongyloidosis), mixed (mesocestoidosis, hydatigeriosis, capillariosis) and characteristic to rodents (paranoplocephalosis, catenoteniosis, skrjabinoteniosis, rodentolepiosis, heligmosomosis, tricurosis, mastophorosis). Keywords: parasitosis, Apodemus uralensis, biotopes, Republic of Moldova.
