Abstract:
The aim of the study was to describe the epidemiological characteristic of the parasite fauna in Apodemus uralensis (Pallas, 1771). Laboratory parasitological investigations were performed by total dissection of previously euthanized rodents, with
microscopic examination of the muscles (masseter muscles, arms, diaphragm) and internal organs (trachea, lungs, heart, tongue, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, spleen, kidney, bladder) in order to establish the structure of the helminthofauna and to determine the parasitological indices.
Description:
The studies were performed within the State Program projects: 20.80009.7007.12 „Diversity of hematophagous arthropods, zoo-and phytohelminths, vulnerability, strategies for tolerating climatic factors and elaboration of innovative procedures for integrated control of species of socio-economic interest” and20.80009.7007.02 “Evolutive changes of economically important terrestrial fauna, of rare and protected species in the conditions of anthropic and climatic modifications”.
