In this paper data are reflected with reference to the structure of the helminthic fauna of Hyla arborea Linnaeus, 1758 in dependence on intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The carried out helminthological research allowed the identification of 13 helminth species, including 7 species of trematodes, 5 species of nematodes and one species of acanthocephalans. The quantitative evaluation of annual parasitological indices shows that the infestation with the trematode species Opisthioglyphe ranae was recorded in 28.42 ± 0.15%, Pleurogenes claviger - in 20.14 ± 0.10%, Pleurogenoides medians - in 25.90 ± 0.27%, Diplodiscus subclavatus - in 20.86 ± 0.06%, Strigea sphaerula, mtc. - in 17.99 ± 0.18%, Neodiplostomum major, mtc. in 15.47 ± 0.44%, Strigea falconis, mtc. in 14.75 ± 1.80%, with Cosmocerca ornata in 30.22 ± 0.25%, Oswaldocruzia filiformis in 23.74 ± 0.28%, Oswaldocruzia duboisi in 20.14 ± 0.07%, Icosiella neglecta in 21.58 ± 0.11%, Agamospirura sp. II, larva - in 18.35 ± 0.17%, and Acanthocephalus ranae was recorded in 23.74 ± 0.02% of cases.
