Actuality: protozoal diseases and helminthiases are an essential part of infectious diseases. The massive spread of parasitic diseases had been identified in all regions of the world, including in children., number of suffering from parasitic infections exceeds 20 million and has a tendency to increase in Russia. The magnitude of damage to people's health, intestinal helminthiases are among the four leading causes of all diseases.
Material And Methods: under the supervision was a child with mixed-infestation of 7 helminths and parasites: enterobiosis + giardiasis, enterobiosis + ascariasis, ascariasis + trihotsefalez; enterobiosis giardiasis + toxocariasis.
Results: the case is of interest to clinicians and pediatricians in terms of diagnosis, because the helminthiasis was proceeded under the guise of somatic diseases associated with severe visceral injuries. Highlight helminthiasis on the stage of mixed-infestation among several helminths and parasites indicates a lack of pediatricians' alertness on parasitosis.

Background: Intestinal helminthiasis occurs in sub-optimal living conditions with poor hygiene practices and is more prevalent in rural, suburban and institutionalized centres. Heavy helminthic burden negatively affects the nutritional status and the severity of anaemia among children living in orphanages.
Aim: To determine the risk factors and relationship of intestinal helminthiasis with nutritional status and anaemia among institutionalized children in three states of South-East Nigeria.

Background: Hematological and biochemical values are widely used in veterinary clinics for disease prognosis, nutritional and therapeutic monitoring, as well as in understanding the disease process in farm animals, including equines.
Aim: This study aims to assess the alterations in hematological and biochemical parameters in pure Arabian horses infested with internal parasites.
Methods: Samples of feces and blood were collected from 20 adult mares.

MHC gene is highly polymorphic and plays central molecule in immune system in recognition of pathogens and parasites. The present study examined the variability of MHC class II DRB exon 2 gene using microsatellite analysis, and its association with infestation in Salem Black goat population. Animals were naturally exposed to mixed infestation of endoparasites, predominantly .

The aim of the study was to determine the occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites in slaughter rabbits managed in small scale farms and under industrial farming system. The research material included intestines and livers of rabbits slaughtered between years 2007 and 2011. The rabbit carcasses submitted to parasitological examination had passed the sanitary veterinary inspection as fit for human consumption.
