Keywords: birds; feeding; fauna; Trematoda; Karelia
The parameters of the trematode infection were investigated in 210 specimens of waterbirds nesting in Karelia or migrating via the territory. The main groups of birds were studied: Gaviidae (1 species), Podicipedidae (2) Anatidae (10), Rallidae (1), Scolopacidae (5) and Laridae (6). More than 40 species of Trematoda were found in birds in Karelia. Families Echinostomatidae (8 species) and Diplostomidae (6) prevailed. The species that constitute and maintain the centers of dangerous bird-, fish- and human helminthiases have been identified.
