The data on species diversity of trematodes from bats collected in the Middle Volga Region are summarized. According to original and literary data, 20 trematode species were recorded in bats of the region examined. Plagiorchis elegans, Lecithodendrium skrjabini, L. rysavyi, Prosthodendrium hurkovaae, and Pycnoporus megacotyle are specified for the bat fauna of Russia for the first time. For 11 species of parasites, new hosts are recorded. The analysis of bat helminthes demonstrated that the fauna of trematodes of the northern bat (12 species of trematodes), of the pond, and of the Brandt's bats is the most diverse, constituting more than 10 parasite species per bat species. The largest number of final hosts in the Middle Volga Region is characteristic of Plagiorchis koreanus and Prosthodendrium chilostomum; the latter species were revealed in 8 and 7 bat species, respectively. Trematodes of bats possess a high degree of host specificity. 17 species parasitize exclusively in bats out of 20 parasite species registered for the order Chiroptera. Only 3 species (Plagiorchis elegans, P. vespertilionis, and Prosthodendrium chilostomum) show wide degree of specificity, being found in other animals. Taxonomic position, the circle of hosts, collecting sites, and brief data in biology and geographical distribution for each helminth species are specified. Morphological descriptions and original figures for all the trematode species revealed in bats of the Middle Volga Region are given.
总结了伏尔加河中游地区收集的蝙蝠体内吸虫物种多样性的数据。根据原始数据和文献资料，在所研究的该地区蝙蝠体内记录到20种吸虫。优美斜睾吸虫、斯氏枝腺吸虫、雷氏枝腺吸虫、胡尔科娃前殖吸虫和巨盘密孔吸虫首次被确定为俄罗斯蝙蝠动物区系的吸虫种类。对于11种寄生虫，记录到了新的宿主。对蝙蝠蠕虫的分析表明，北棕蝠（12种吸虫）、水鼠耳蝠和布氏鼠耳蝠的吸虫动物区系最为多样，每种蝙蝠的寄生虫种类超过10种。伏尔加河中游地区终末宿主数量最多的是朝鲜斜睾吸虫和唇口前殖吸虫；后一种吸虫分别在8种和7种蝙蝠中被发现。蝙蝠的吸虫具有高度的宿主特异性。在为翼手目记录的20种寄生虫中，有17种仅寄生于蝙蝠。只有3种（优美斜睾吸虫、蝙蝠斜睾吸虫和唇口前殖吸虫）显示出广泛的特异性，在其他动物中也有发现。文中还指明了每种蠕虫的分类地位、宿主范围、采集地点以及生物学和地理分布的简要数据。给出了伏尔加河中游地区蝙蝠体内发现的所有吸虫种类的形态描述和原始图。
