Abstract
The estimation of abundance of hemi-population of D. dendriticum (Nitzsch, 1824) in different phases of development (egg – 0,9⋅1013 procercoid – 4,2⋅1010 plerocercoid – 5,1⋅108 imago – 6,2⋅104) in the ecosystem of Lake Baikal has been presented. Data on pathomorphological and immunological reactions of Herring Gull and Syrian hamster organs by experimental infection of D. dendriticum has been given.
