During the study of parasites of ninespine stickleback
Pungitius pungitius
(L., 1758), a resident in the Volga basin, we have found intestinal nematodes,
Pseudocapillaria tomentosa
(Dujardin, 1843) Lomakin et Trofimenko, 1982 and
Rhabdochona denudata
(Dujardin, 1845) Railliet, 1916. Both species are recorded for the first time in the parasite fauna of the host in the European part of Russia. Data on the occurrence and intensity of fish invasion by worms are presented.
