| Summary: | More than 70% of the world’s reserves of fossil mammoth bones and other remains of the mammoth fauna are concentrated in Yakutia. As a rule, objects of mammoth fauna discovered in Yakutia are well preserved. Up to 90% of all unique finds with soft tissues occur in Yakutia; in addition, fossil animals with preserved biological fluids were discovered only in Yakutia. When studying the remains of mammoths, finds of parasites are rare and random, which determines the relevance of targeted parasitological research in the field of paleoparasitology. The purpose of our research was to detect nematode eggs in the Bykovsky mammoth (Mammutus primigenus (Blumenbach, 1799)) of the Pleistocene period. During helminthological studies, we discovered eggs of helminths from the class Nematoda, in particular roundworms of the suborder Ascaridata, family. Ascarididae The diameter of roundworm eggs of the Bykovsky mammoth (Mammutus primigenus (Blumenbach, 1799)) was 73.25 ± 1.47; shell thickness 4.10±0.20. ... |
