| Summary: | The purpose of the research is to analyze and synthesize literature data on terrestrial mollusks, intermediate hosts of helminthes vertebrat.Materials and methods. An analysis of the literature data on the distribution of helminths of vertebrates among species of terrestrial mollusks acting as their intermediate hosts was performed.Results and discussion. A literature review of helminth species found in terrestrial mollusks from different regions of the world and the Republic of Belarus is presented. A reasoned assumption has been put forward about more than 40 species of terrestrial mollusks of the Republic of Belarus as potential intermediate hosts of 30 or more species of helminths. |
