The purpose of the work was to clarify the modern epizootic situation on helminthozoonoses of game animals in the Central region of Russia. The material for the study was helminthological collections during 2018–2020 from game animals. Animal carcasses were brought from the territories of the hunting farms of the Vladimir, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod and Ryazan regions. A total of 218 animal and bird carcasses were studied. 105 heads of 11 species of carnivores (Carnivore) was studied by helminthological methods. One species was studied from the omnivorous animals (Оmnivorae) – boar. Among ruminants (Ruminantia), 54 heads were examined. Helminth fauna of rodents (Rodentia) was studied in 44 heads of 5 species. Three species of birds (Aves) was studied. About 12 species of helminthozoonosis were identified, of which trichinellosis, dirophilariosis, toxocarosis and alveococcosis are particularly hazardous. The main hosts of zoonoses are 7 species of predators. The red fox and some weasels play a leading rolein the spread of helminthosis common to humans and animals.
