Results of the investigation of helminthocoenosis formation and ecological analysis of helminth fauna of fox (Vulpes vulpes) inhabiting on the territory of several hunting fields and protected natural reserves of the Republic of Belarus were presented. There were revealed 32 species of helminthes and the analysed helminthocoenosis could be characterized as cestodiasis and nematode one. Total infestation of foxes over the territory of Belarus was 100% both in the South and in the North of the Republic. In average, per one infestated animal unit there were registered 3,2+/-0,6 helminth species (in the North - 3,1+/-0,6 and in the South - 3,6+/-0,8) that could happen due to the abundant trophic and topical relations. The structure of helminthocoenosis was characterized by low uniformity of helmith species and domination of the following species: Crenosoma vulpis (30,39%), Capillaria plica (45,10%), Thominx aerophilus (48,04%), Toxocara canis (27,45%), Taenia crassiceps (40,02%) and Alaria alata (72,55%). All found in fox helminthes could parasitize at different development stages in all domestic, agricultural animals and in people
