[Carnivorous Ascaridata in Belarus and their medical significance].
Long-term (1980-1998) helminthological animal surveys in southern Belarus (Polesye) revealed 4 types of worms of the suborder Ascaridata of medical significance: Ascaris (= Baylisascaris) devosi (Sprent, 1952), Toxascaris leonina (Linstow, 1902), Toxocara canis (Werner, 1782) and T. cati (Schrank, 1788). The host of the first worm are nartens (8 species) and the latter 3 ones are canine and feline families (4 and 2 species, respectively). Emphasis is laid on the fact that in Belarus there is a risk for human infection with carnivores Ascaridate worms and there is a need to work out uniform sanitary and veterinary rules and standards for these helminths, which should be a link of general parasitological monitoring of anthropozootic diseases in the republic.
