Parasitic diseases are permanently present in wild animals living in natural habitats along the Croatian and Serbian part of the Danube course. Results of the investigations and status of parasitosis in game species over the last twenty years are given. Direct risks for the human health are trichinellosis and allariosis. Both sylvatic and domestic infection cycle is confirmed, with new findings of Trichinella larvae in European badger, red fox and golden jackal. Increasing frequency of trematode Allaria alata and its developmental stages is observed in various animals. The health status of red deer is endangered by infection with large American liver fluke (Fascioloides magna), and first evidence of fascioloidosis in Croatia dated in 1999. The more effective treatment and eradication of parasitic disease in game can be achieved by cooperation between scientist in two countries.
