Opistorchosis is one of serious natural focal diseases of humans and many carnivorous animals. Significance of opistorchosis for our country was noted by Academician K. I. Skryabin as far back as 1932, considering it a serious social and economic problem. This disease leads to loss of life and disability of people, to animals mortality (foxes, ermines, muskrats etc.). Opistorchosis is registered at vast territory of Europe and Asia (USSR, Poland, German Democratic Republic, Germany, Finland, Netherlands etc.) but its main nosoareal is in our country. There are about 2 million opistorchosis patients on USSR territory. Due to this fact, since 1983 systematic researches have been started according to target complex interdisciplinary scientific program "Opisthorchiasis".
