As a result of investigations, the role of Coleoptera order of insects as reservoir hosts of helminthes of Strongylata and Rhabditata suborders was determined. It was proved that average quantity of helminthes revealed in accord with intensity and extensity of insect infection rate, has considerable advantage as compared with point estimation of larvae quantity in the environment. The offered method of larvae counting is very promising one, and it allows to use insects as an object of biological control over helminthes hazardous for humans and animals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
