PREVALENCE OF SOME HELMINTHS IN RODENTS CAPTURED FROM DIFFERENT CITY STRUCTURES INCLUDING POULTRY FARMS AND HUMAN POPULATION OF
The aim of the present study was to investigate prevalence of zoonotic helminths from human, Rattus rattus (R. rattus), Rattus norvegicus (R. norvegicus) and Mus musculus of eight different structures, namely grain shops in grain market, departmental stores, railway godowns, food processing plants (...
