RESULTSOFPARASYTOLOGICALRESEARCHESOFMMBIIN2015–2019

The most important results of research on seabirds parasitology conducted at the Murmansk Marine Biological Institute in 2015–2019 are presented. Causal relationships between the distribution of hosts and the spread of helminths are determined. Similarities and differences of parasitic systems in different geographical areas are established. A more complete understanding of the parasitic-host relationship between seabirds and their helminths is obtained. Direct and indirect impact of helminths on hosts at the physiological and biochemical levels are described.
