Species Composition and Ecological Features of Freshwater Helminthfauna of Seabirds on the Barents Sea
The purpose of the research is integration and classification of data on the species composition of the helminths with freshwater life cycles in the birds on the Barents Sea and analysis of the infection features of birds of different species, depending on the ecology of parasites and hosts.
