Abstract: [Summary: 1.Radioactive contamination of biocenosis characterized by multifactorial effects on the biota, and its effect on the parasitic system, manifested in multi-directional trends in the changes of elements of these systems. Changes in parasitic systems depend on the level of contamination of biocenosis.
2. Modern views on the radiosensitivity of the species of organisms (parasites included) formed on laboratory tests are not valid and cannot be used in the practice of radio-ecological studies. …]
