The article presents the results of the investigations of Rostov Research Institute of Microbiology and Parasitology of Rospotrebnadzor which are directed towards the optimization of epidemiological surveillance of the larval helminthes infestations which are actual for the South of Russia: echinococcosis, trichinosis, dirofilariosis and toxocariasis. The implementation of the improved system of epidemiological surveillance of trichinosis has led to the absence of this disease cases among the population of the South and North-Caucasian federal districts in 2017. The optimization of preventive measures allowed to reduce the echinococcosis morbidity of the population in 2017 in the most unfavourable for echinococcosis region - Republic of Karachay-Cherkessia - twice compared to 2009. The results of sanitary-parasitological investigations - the most important part of epidemiological surveillance - indicate the potential risk of the population's infestation with parasitic pathogens through the objects of the environment in the South of Russia. The work of the researchers of the Institute together with the organizations of Rospotrebnadzor and other departments on the improvement of epidemiological surveillance resulted in the development of 12 standard and methodical and informative and methodical documents for the period of 2013-2018.
