This article examines the role of parasites in ecological diversity and their impact on ecosystem dynamics in the Kyrgyz Republic (KR). The research shows that parasites play an important role in maintaining the balance in nature and influence the species diversity of the region. Data on the interaction of parasites with animals and their impact on ecosystem health are presented. The analysis allows us to understand the mechanisms of interaction between parasites and the environment and propose measures to maintain ecological balance in the region. An analysis of the epidemiological situation of parasitosis in the Kyrgyz Republic for the period from 2008 to 2022 was also carried out. There is a trend of increasing incidence of diseases, with the nine most common nosological forms including enterobiasis, giardiasis, ascariasis, hymenolepiasis, teniarinosis, teniasis, dicroceliasis, fascioliasis, and trichocephaliasis. The average long-term incidence rate was 34.5 per 1000 individuals examined, with the minimum recorded in 2008 (32.6) and the maximum in 2012 (38.4).
