Paleoparasitological analysis was performed on a set of ten coprolites recovered during excavations of the Neolithic site Serteya II (NW Russia). Eggs of four gastrointestinal parasite taxa were identified, namely the fish tapeworm genus Diphyllobothrium, the giant kidney worm Dioctophyma renale, and two trematode taxa, including the liver lancet fluke genus Dicrocoelium. The diversity of parasites enables us to discuss the biological origin of the studied material, which can be attributed to carnivores, probably to canids. This is only the second record of ancient parasites in this part of the world for the Neolithic period and our results are consistent with those from the first study. They contribute to highlighting relationships between humans and animals, and show how environments and human activities can induce parasite transmission.

对在新石器时代遗址 Serteya II（俄罗斯西北部）的挖掘过程中回收的一组十个粪化石进行了古寄生虫学分析。4胃肠道寄生虫类群进行了鉴定，即鱼属绦虫卵裂头，巨大的肾脏蠕虫Dioctophyma renale和两个吸虫类群，包括肝柳叶刀侥幸属Dicrocoelium. 寄生虫的多样性使我们能够讨论所研究材料的生物学起源，这些材料可以归因于食肉动物，可能属于犬科动物。这只是新石器时代该地区古代寄生虫的第二次记录，我们的结果与第一次研究的结果一致。它们有助于突出人与动物之间的关系，并展示环境和人类活动如何诱导寄生虫传播。
