| Summary: | Gongulema caucasica is the most common nematode species of passerine birds on the territory of Kabardino-Balkarian State High-Mountain Reserve which may cause the infestation of chicken with gongulemosis in this region. Materials and methods: Wild and synanthropic birds on the territory of Kabardino-Balkarian State High-Mountain Reserve were examined for presence of helminths. 71 carcasses of wild and synanthropic birds were collected in the period 2011–2014. Results and discussion: As a result of the post-mortem helminthological examination of organs and tissues of wild and synanthropic birds the nematodes Gongulema caucasica have been detected in 6 birds of 7 species of passerine birds (common wheatear, tree sparrow, linnet, bullfinch, whinchat, wagtail, chaffinch) living on the territory of Kabardino-Balkaria State High-Mountain Reserve. Nematodes Gongulema caucasica can be mainly localized in esophagus and rarely in forestomach. |
