The helminth fauna of domestic and wild cud-chewing animals in Azerbaijan (on the base of literature date)
Abstract : The common feeding grounds of wild and domestic animals, the concentration of large populations of livestock and wild ungulates in limited areas, lead to the formation of a common parasitic fauna for both domestic and wild animals, an increase the number of species of parasitic disease agents, and affect the episodic situation as a whole. As wild animals travel long distances throughout the year, including across borders of neighboring countries and coming into contact with domestic animals along the way, pathogens are exchanged between wild and domestic animals. A study of literature data shows that in Azerbaijan, from wild ruminants in European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus, Linnaeus, 1758) have 17 species of helminths, red deer (Cervus elaphus, Linnaeus, 1758) have 5 species of helminths, goitered gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa, Guld., 1780) have 23 species of helminths that parasitize in the digestive system, abdominal cavity, gallbladder, lungs and liver, Caucasian chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra, Linnaeus, 1758) have 23 species of helminths, mouflon (Ovis orientalis, Gmelin, 1774) have 15 species of helminths in the digestive system, and from domestic ruminants were parasiting 85 species of helmints in sheep, 54 species helmints in goats, 83 species helmints in cattle, 53 species helmints in buffaloes, 52 species helminths in zebu, and 23 species of helminths in camels.
