Abstract
Five species of liver flukes were found during the long period of helminthological investigations (1980-2016) of wild rodents, lagiformes, carnivores (canids, mustelids) and artiodactyls in Belorussian Polesie. The role of these animals in the formation of the center of helminthoses and the risk of infection by the liver flukes of the inhabitants of Belorussian Polesie are discussed.
