| seasonal and site specific variation in the component community structure of intestinal helminths in apodemus sylvaticus from three contrasting habitats in south-east england. | seasonal fluctuations in the prevalence and abundance of infection with intestinal helminths were studied in apodemus sylvaticus (wood mouse, n = 399), from three contrasting habitats in southern england, to test the hypothesis that both intrinsic (host sex, age) and extrinsic (season, site) factors influence parasite species richness and abundance. five species of helminths were recovered but only one of these (capillaria murissylvatici) was site-specific (dungeness). total species richness was ... | 2000 | 10831048 |
