Abstract
As the result of long-term studies, 10 passerine bird species were recorded as hosts of Trypocalliphora braueri larvae in the Yenisei region in Siberia. The main hosts of Tr. braueri were Sturnus vulgaris, Motacillacinerea, M. alba,M. personata, Sylvia curruca, and Phoenicurus phoenicurus. Infestation intensity was higher in anthropogenic landscapes; it also depended on spring temperatures. The mean infestation rate was 5.6%, the maximum one, 18.5%. Most of the infested nests were recorded at a distance of about 2.4 km from the Yenisei riverbed.
