Objective of research: to study the helminth fauna in cats of the family Felidae in Azerbaijan.Materials and methods: 58 European wild cats, 88 jungle and 136 domestic cats from different regions of Azerbaijan were examined in 1985–2000 by the method of full helminthological dissection.Results and discussion: In different landscapes of Azerbaijan the helminth fauna in cats was formed depending on cat etiology, nutritional composition of their food and bioecological features of landscapes.14 helminth species happened to be similar for all cat families. For the first time 4 new helminth species were revealed in wild cats, 2 species – in jungle, 17 – in domestic cats. We determined the important role of intermediate hosts (making the base of cat nutrition) in the formation of the helminth fauna, in the exchange of helminths in the ecosystem between animals. 23 helminth species, which infest humans and domestic animals, are potentially dangerous and have a significant epizootological and epidemiological importance.
