Summary/Abstract: Nowadays much attention has been paid to the parasitological research. Parasitological data show quantitative and qualitative changes in the ecosystem of the waterbody. It helps to determine both new and insufficiently studied sources/foci of parasite infection in people, domestic and wild animals (when its intermediate host is the fish). The research results of the Ladoga Lake vendace parasitofauna study are presented in the article. We performed a comparative analysis of both Ladoga and Onega vendace, identified specific and mass parasite species, defined the level of invasion extensiveness and intensiveness, noted the differences in vendace parasitofauna.
