Summary:The main reason for the sharp decline in the number of natural populations of artiodactyls is the ecological crisis associated with the drying up of the Aral Sea, degradation of the animal habitat. For a comparative analysis of the fauna of the helminths of the studied animals, we used previously collected (1959 - 1978) parasites from wild boar, saiga, gazelle and Bukhara deer on the territory of Karakalpakstan, as well as literature data. The population size in the natural conditions of the studied region is small. [...]four species of ruminants are included in the Red Book of Uzbekistan (2019) in the category of rare species. The results of our renewed studies of animal helminth fauna confirm, in general, the data of previous researchers (Koshanov, 1972; Dadaev, 1997), with the only difference that in the structure of parasite communities, there was a significant depletion due to the loss of a number of parasitic worm species.
