[The role of the owsianka Leucaspius delineatus in maintaining opisthorchiasis foci in Novosibirsk Province].
Materials reflecting opisthorchiasis infection in fish in the Novosibirsk region were analyzed. On the basis of fish population estimation and studies on its invasion with Opisthorchis felineus (Rivolta, 1884) it was shown that a considerable part in maintaining opisthorchiasis foci is played by Leucaspius delineatus. It is numerous, can easily acclimatize itself in natural water bodies, inaccessible for predatory animals, easily infected with Opisthorchis larvae, and therefore can play an important role in formation of new opisthorchiasis foci during amelioration of Kulunda and Baraba forest-steppe.
