ECOLOGO-GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS OF DISTRIBUTION OF MONIEZIOSIS AGENTS (MONIEZIA EXPANSA, M.BENEDENI, M.AUTUMNALIA-CESTODA, ANOPLOCEPHALATA) OF THE RUMINANT ANIMALS OF AZERBAICAN AND THEIR SEASONAL AND AGE DYNAMICS

Abstract

More than 18.867 heads of agricultural animals were analyzed during last 20 years in the different ecologo-geographical zones: Sheki-Zagatala, Guba-Khachmaz, Ganja-Gazakh, Kura-Araz lowland, the Lenkoran natural area and Absheron-Gobustan semi desert zone. Analysis showed that monieziosis iz widely distributed among agricultural animals. The infection of ruminant animals is occurred all the year round under Azerbaijan conditions as the cattle is pastured the whole year long. Intensity of infection is occurred in spring and autumn. Because the intermediate hosts of the monieziosis - the oribatid mites actively migrate on the grass in this period.
