The first report on cases of diphyllobothriosis in the Volga River basin was published back in 1862. Yu. Knoch reported about detection of this disease in Kazan, and in 1896 Professor A.E. Brehm wrote that broad lepidoptera was a "common guest" of Kazan gubernia inhabitants. For a long time, in most areas of the Volga River basin the infestation of the population with diphyllobothriosis was at a low level. Intense centers of diphyllobotrysosis began to appear in 1955-1965 in many regions and autonomous republics located in the Volga basin after creating the cascade of reservoirs: Rybinsk, Gorky, Kuibyshev, Volgograd, etc.
