Summary. The rabbit breeding industry is constrained by diseases of various etiologies, including invasive ones, so the purpose of this work was to study the spread of invasive diseases and the degree of infection of rabbits with parasitosis in the Moscow region, using the example of two rabbit breeding farms and vivariums. The study was carried out according to generally accepted methods. As a result of research in the Moscow region, rabbits were diagnosed with: Passalurus ambigus, Psoroptes cuniculi and Eimeria spp. The dominant invasions among the studied population of rabbits are passalurosis, EI = 63.8%, as well as eimeriosis - EI from 27 to 100%. The nosological profile of pathogens of the genus Eimeria is represented by five species and in four generalized samples the following percentage was revealed: E. perforans - 37%, E. media - 24%, E. magna - 21%, E. stiedae - 14%, and E. intestinalis - 4%. Clinical signs of rabbit eimeriosis were not observed, due to low AI, in 1 g of faeces in collective samples, it varied from 287 to 632 oocysts, which indicates a weak degree of invasion or carriage.

Keywords: rabbits, rabbit breeding, infection, parasitosis, passalurosis, eimeriosis, extent of invasion, intensity of invasion, oocysts.
