Determinants of the prevalence of Heligmosomum costellatum(Heligmosomidae: Trichostrongyloidea) in a common vole population in southern Moravia, Czech Republic
Abstract A study of nematode ( Heligmosomum costellatum ) prevalence in the common vole ( Microtus arvalis ) population was performed in 2002 and 2003 in an agricultural region of southern Moravia, Czech Republic. The influence of the trapping date, body weight, age, gender and reproduction of the c...

The prevalence of H. costellatum in the common vole population was influenced mainly by the weight, trapping date, year and reproductive state, as well as by the interactions between year and gender and between year and reproductive state.

In general, parasite prevalence seems to be dependent on the population parameters of the host species.
