A quasiparticle description of various condensed media is a very popular tool in study of their transport and thermodynamic properties. I present here a microscopic theory for the description of diffusion processes in two-component gas of quasiparticles with arbitrary dispersion law and statistics. Particularly, I analyze the role of interaction within each subsystem (i.e. between identical quasiparticles) in relaxation of the whole system. The approach for solution of such kinetic problem allows to study the most important limiting cases and to clarify their physical sense. Classical results for diffusion coefficient of light particles in a massive gas (Lorentz model) and of massive particles in a light gas (Rayleigh model) are obtained directly from the general solution without using artificial approaches, as it was done earlier. This particularly provide a possibility to generalize these popular models on quasiparticle systems.
