Objective of research. The purpose of the research - monitoring the parasitic situation in the specially protected natural areas to identify natural foci of infestation and the infestation of wild animals. Materials and methods. In vivo and post-mortem helminthological studies of wildlife protected areas. Winter-spring monitoring of wild ruminants to determine the foci of infestation in the study areas. Description of habitats the definitive and intermediate hosts of parasites installed. Photo - and video-documentation and microscopy of material obtained by different methods of parasitological studies of the basic and intermediate hosts of parasites, statistical analysis of the obtained results and their analysis according to the literary sources. Results and discussion: The infestation of animals with helminths and protozoa ranged from 70 to 100%-ing. It should be noted that the intensity of infestation with eggs/ larvae/parasites oietai in 2016 has significantly increased in animals that live in the study natural areas. We associate this phenomenon with the fact that in 2014 we have conducted a preventive antiparasitic activities that led to significant reductions in infestation rate in 2015, but for 2016, they began to grow. In addition, the introduction of animals also affects the increase and accumulation of parasite beginning in natural habitats, causing the formation of parasitic foci. The helminths fauna of wild animals was dominated by nematodes. IE by helminths came up to 100%, of which the larger part was represented by intestinal Strongylata.
