ABSTRACT

Intestinal nematodes of animals of the genus of as factors of contamination of mountain pastures of the North Caucasus by invasive elements are considered by us for the first time. As seen of in the mountain zone (Elbrus district, Zolsky pastures, and Chereksky district) 60.00 - 90.00% of soil samples are contaminated with eggs of the nematodes genus Bunostomum (Raillet, 1902) (average 13,80±1,30 ekz. per 5 g of soil). The dynamics pasture of soil contamination in the mountain zone with eggs of nematodes of the genus Bunostomum (Raillet, 1902) was characterized of by an increase in pollution soil samples from 62,00 to 95,00% (on average by 77,60%), which indicates the likely formation of persistent foci of invasion that are dangerous to animal health. In recent years, due to technological errors, the number of animals per 1 ha of pastures has increased by 3-5 times, which has led to an increase in soil pollution by eggs of the genus Bunostomum (Raillet, 1902). Up to 100% of soil samples in animal drinking places, in the soils of grazing lands, gardens, residential sectors, and reverie of coastal areas of were contaminated with invasive material of from nematodes of the species Bunostomum trigonocephalum and Bunostomum phlebotomum, which indicates of a high level of contamination of biotopes of pasture with eggs. The current sanitary condition of the mountainous territories of Kabardino-Balkaria under the conditions of soil contamination with eggs of the nematodes genus Bunostomum necessitates urgent measures to organize deworming of the sheep stock 4 times a year (quarterly) with benzimidazole derivatives and avermectins.
