First record of natural Baylisascaris transfuga (Ascaridoidea, Nematoda) infection in wild rodents
Abstract The intestinal parasitic nematode, Baylisascaris transfuga, was recorded in wild rodents for the first time. Representatives of four murid species (15 Myodes rufocanus , 10 M. rutilus , 3 M. glareolus and 27 Microtus oeconomus ) were collected in the White Sea coastal habitats in the south...
