The aim of this study was to determine the number of endoparasite species and their prevalence in wild ruminating game animals compared to organic sheep flocks. A major concern is the potential transfer of parasitic diseases to domestic animals from the incursion of wild ruminants on common pastures areas. In 2011, we examined 227 samples of excrements of deer, red deer, mouflon, fallow deer and sheep from two locations (Novačany and Debraď) in Easter Slovakia, using common flotation, larvoscopic and sedimentation methods. We compared the prevalence of the individual species of parasites in wild game animals and sheep kept on organic farms in the same region. The prevalence of parasites on an organic farm in Novačany reached 75.8 %, which resembled that in wild game in the hunting ground of Novačany (81.2 %). The prevalence of parasites in sheep in Debraď was 71.4 %, and in the wild animals of the game reserve in Debraď, 66.7 %. The most frequently found parasites were Eimeria spp., Muellerius family Trichostrongylidae. Less frequently found were the following species and genera of parasites; Strongyloides papillosus, Capillaria spp., Trichuris spp. and Moniezia spp. Moreover Oesophagostomum spp. and Paramphistomum cervi were detected in sheep excrements and Dictyocaulus spp. in free living game excrements.
