Abstract

On the vast territory of the Republic of Tatarstan, 4 large rivers of the European part of Russia flow: Volga, Kama, Belaya, Vyatka with their numerous tributaries. They are inhabited by an abundant flora of cyprinid fish species, which serve as a source of infection with opisthorchiasis, pseudomphistomiasis and metorchiasis. For the first time, opisthorchiasis in the republic was registered by us in 1957 (in Laishevsky, Kuibyshevsky, Rybno-Slobodsky, Alekseevsky, Kamsko-Ustyinsky, Yelabuga, Aktanyshsky, Zelenodolsky, Tetyushsky and Mamadyshsky districts).
