A SURVEY OF THE GUT PARASITES OF RODENTS IN NSUKKA ECOLOGICAL ZONE
A survey of gut parasites of rodents was undertaken in Nsukka ecological zone. Out of the 87 rodents caught and examined, 47 (54.0%) were positive for helminth parasites. The prevalence rates for the various rodents examined were 60.0 % for Xerus erythropus (squirrels); 59.3 % for Cricetomy sp. (gia...
