Description
Summary:As a part of zoogeographical research projects of the host-parasite relationship between the mammals and parasitic nematodes in the Himalayas, Nepal, the intestines of the total 43 individuals of 4 murine species, viz., Niviventer eha [abbreviated to Ne], Rattus rattus, Mus cervicolor [abbreviated to Mc] and M. musculus [abbreviated to Mm] were examined helminthologically, and Heligmonoides sp.1 [Ne] (occurrence of positive individuals /individuals examined:9/10), larval nematode [Ne] (1/10), H. sp. 2 [Mc] (5/7), H. afghanus [Mm] (2/25) Heligmosomoides neopolygyrus [Ne] (6/10) and Syphacia ohtaorunt [Mm] (3/25). These nematode species are new host and/or locality records in Nepal and /or each host species.
