N2  - The article provides information on the incidence of toxocariasis in humans and dogs in various regions of the Russian Federation considering their age and gender. The ways of infection of potential hosts and the degree of contamination by sick animals with Toxocara eggs of cities and rural settlements are considered. The clinical symptoms of the disease manifestation and hematological parameters in people with toxocariasis are analyzed. Toxocariasis is widespread in many countries of the world. It is found in Russia, Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia, and the USA. The invasion is registered mainly among stray dogs and cats, which secrete helminth eggs in large quantities in feces in residential areas. The average infection rate among dogs and cats is about 16%, but in some cases, it can reach 90%. In 2020, the share of helminthiasis in the general structure of parasitic diseases amounted to 87.5%. In 2020, 871 cases of human disease were registered (0.59 per 100 thousand population), compared to 2019, the incidence decreased 2.25 times, and since 2011 – 3.9 times. 353 cases of toxocariasis were detected among children under 17 y.o. (1.17 per 100 thousand of this age), which is 1.9 times less than in 2019, and compared to 2011, the incidence decreased by 4.9 times.
