Complete helminthological dissection was performed according to standard tech-nique (Kotelnikov, 1983). All helminths were collected manually and fixed in 70% ethanol. Onespecimen of Acanthocephala, Moniliformis moniliformis (Bremser, 1811) Travassos, 1915 was foundin cecum. The acanthocephala was studied on temporary total mount cleared in Berlesemedium. M. moniliformis is the regular parasite of rodents, and rare in insectivorous mammals ofEurope and North-Western Asia. This is the first finding of the species in the pine marten in Ukraine.Previously M. moniliformis was reported from Mustelidae (in Mustela erminea Linnaeus, 1758 andM. putorius Linnaeus, 1758) from the Middle Volga Region (Romanov, 1964; Kontrimavičius, 1969).The marten is probably its post-cyclic host of this species of Acanthocephala. – Y.
