Taeniidoses of domestic carnivores in Moscow and problems of their diagnosis

The purpose of the research is analyzing data on the spread of taeniidoses among carnivores in Moscow, as well as considering issues of their diagnosis and cross-species differentiation. Taeniidoses occupy a significant place among helminthiases of carnivores. The development cycle of Taenia includes larval parasitism inside the organism of productive animals (cattle, small ruminants, rabbits, etc.), therefore they pose a potential danger to carnivores, as well as humans. Rodents that can also be intermediate hosts of many species of Taenia can play an essential role in the spread of invasion.
