Abstract. Moniesiosis is a widespread helminthiasis of domestic and many species of wild ruminants. The invasion is caused by cestodes of the genus Moniezia, parasitizing the small intestine of animals. Mostly young animals are sick, and adult animals are less susceptible to infection with monieziosis. The seasonal dynamics of animal moniesiosis is characterized by ups and downs with minimal indicators of the extent and intensity of invasion in winter, which depends on the climatic and geographical conditions of the area.

Materials and methods of research. We used analytical, comparative and systemic methods of scientific research. The scientific works included in the electronic databases Elibrary and Cyberleninka were selected and further analyzed. The choice of material was made depending on its scientific value in relation to the research topic. Preference was given to publications from the Elibrary database, since the review focuses on studies conducted in Russia.

Results and the discussion. Monieziosis of the large horned cattle and small ruminants is registered in many regions of Russia (Republics of Kalmykia, Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Stavropol region, Kabardino-Balkarian and Chechen Republics, Astrakhan, Orenburg, Vologda, Kurgan, Tyumen, Irkutsk regions, etc.). The prevalence of infestation is 0.2-100% with an infestation intensity of 1-87 individuals per animal, depending on the region.

Keywords: moniesiosis, sheep, large horned cattle, distribution, extent and intensity of invasion, seasonal dynamics.
