Dynamic changes in the farming practices, growing numbers of beef farmers and geographic distribution of beef cattle herds in the Czech Republic impact on helminth parasites of cattle and vice versa. We summarize in a brief form results of parasitological examination of samples collected by farmers from range of beef cattle farms across the whole Czech Republic in order to provide baseline data for parasite control and to report occurrence of an invasive rumen fluke Calicophoron daubneyi in the country.

Keywords: helminths, rumen fluke, Calicophoron daubneyi, Czech Republic, beef cattle
