[Significance of birds in the dissemination of Trichinella spp. larvae in coastal and aquatic biocenoses].

The real possibilities of mechanical transmission of trichinae through avian feces to terrestrial and aquatic mammals with the participation of a number of invertebrates (ostraceans, crustaceans, and dipteran larvae) and fishes were studied. Laboratory models have proven that the mammals can be biologically infected with trichinosis from the above species of vertebrates and invertebrates, the mechanical vectors of this infestation.
