he distribution of sparganosis in the biosystems of the Central Chernozem region of the Russian Federation has been studied, material on the ecology, biology and distribution of sparganum has been collected in various territorial units of the CCR, infection of wild animals with both mature and larval forms Spirometra erinaceieuropaei (Rudolphi, 1819) has been determined. For the first time procercoids, spirometers were found in the intermediate host Ciclops strenuus(Fischer, 1851).The strongest water semination of surface water bodies was observed in the Rylsky district (Kursk region). 15 out of 133 (12.7%) studied water samples contained eggs of sparganum. We suggest that the appearance of sparganum eggs in surface water bodies is caused by washing off of sparganum eggs by rain. The largest numbers of infected Cyclops are found in Kursk, Voronezh and Tambov regions – 38 (9,84%), 21 (10,99%) и 23 (7,74%) respectively. We examined 275 animals within the study of sparganum (second larval stages) infestation of additional hosts: infected specimens were discovered in Kursk, Voronezh, Lipetsk and Tambov regions. Sparganosis was detected in two wild boars and eight grass snakes in Karachanskiy district of the Belgorod region, two grass snakes in the Usmansky district of Lipetsk region and five grass snakes in Morshansky district of the Tambov region.
