During a study of the helminth fauna of 1,643 rodents trapped along the Mekong River (Thailand, Lao People's Democratic Republic and Cambodia) in 2008-2011, the spirurid nematode Physaloptera ngoci Le-Van-Hoa, 1961 was recovered with an overall prevalence of 2.8%. Based on the original description, it was identified in nine of 23 different Murinae host species and is here reported for the first...

The article analyzes zoonoses - diseases transmitted to humans from rodents. object of the study were rodents in urbanized ecosystems Kirov-city 2018 2020. relevance this topic is due fact that Kirov region, where studies conducted, helminth fauna residential areas has not been studied. All examined by full helminthological autopsy according Skryabin's methods. A total 183 rodent carcasses subj...

Five species of skin mites from Psorergatidae family have been found in four rodent species (Apodemus flavicollis, A. sylvaticus, Mus musculus, Myodes glareolus) coming from northern part of Poland. Three species (Psorergates microti, P. musculinus, P. simplex) appeared to be new ones for the fauna of Poland. Moreover A. sylvaticus and M. glareolus are a new hosts for P. apodemi, P. muricola, P...

Conditions of the urban environment have a significant impact on ecology animals, including helminth communities. The response community to ecological imbalance and their adaptation life in remain an urgent problem parasitology. In this study, we aimed compare species diversity distribution helminths forest parks with varying degrees anthropogenic pressure. urbanized territories 5 locations cit...

The collection of small mammals from lacustrine sediments at deli hill (SW of Sivas city, Central Anatolia) contains seventeen species of rodents and two species of lagomorphs. There are four Muridae: Apodemus dominans, Occitanomys (Rhodomys) vandami nov. sp., Micromys bendai, and Muridae gen. et sp. indet., six Cricetidae: Cricetus cf. lophidens, Mesocricetus cf. primitivus, Cricetulus migrato...

The Montebello archipelago consists of 218 islands; 80 km from the north-west coast of Western Australia. Before 1912 the islands had a diverse terrestrial fauna. By 1952 several species were locally extinct. Between 1996 and 2011 rodents and cats were eradicated, and 5 mammal and 2 bird species were translocated to the islands. Monitoring of the broader terrestrial ecosystem over time has been...

Approximately 306 species of terrestrial and arboreal mammals are known to have inhabited the mainland and coastal islands of Australia at the time of European settlement in 1788. The exotic Trypanosoma lewisi was the first mammalian trypanosome identified in Australia in 1888, while the first native species, Trypanosoma pteropi, was taxonomically described in 1913. Since these discoveries, abo...

Ongoing efforts to survey and inventory nonvolant small mammals across the Neotropics are beginning to reveal a highly structured and diverse fauna of rodents and marsupials. By increasing the foundation of specimens in museums around the world, it has become possible, for the first time, to evaluate and quantify the similarities and differences among small mammals collected from a broad range ...
