The paper describes organization and achievements of the struggle against human helminthiases over a 30-year period in Bulgaria. Over this period, in Bulgaria Taenia solium was eradicated, while the incidence of taeniasis, ascariasis, trichocephaliasis, hymenolepiasis, enterobiasis and ascariasis, trichocephaliasis, hymenolepiasis, enterobiasis and echinococcosis was reduced several-fold.
