Bioecology of the parasites of high altitude homeothermic host-parasite systems. II. Infections by strobilocerci of Hydatigera balaniceps (Hall), H. laticollis (Rudolphi) and H. parva (Baer) in relation to sex, size and weight of Indian house rat

Abstract The influence of sex, size and weight of the Indian house rat (Rattus rattus) on concurrent liver infections with Hydatigera balankeps (Hall), H. laticollis (Rudolphi) and H. parva (Baer) has been discussed. A significant inverse relationship was recorded between cestode infection and rat s...
