Summary

Aboriginal cattle pastured at mountain lands situated at the height of 1500-2000 meters above sea-level is infected by 29 helminth species in autumn and winter, by 25 helminth species – in summer and by 16 helminth species – in spring; the same indices are lower at pastures being at the height of 2000-3300 meters above sea-level. The above data evidence that environmental conditions at the height more than 2000 meters above sea-level are not favourable for development of helminth causative agents.
