| helminth infections in apodemus sylvaticus in southern england: interactive effects of host age, sex and year on the prevalence and abundance of infections. | helminth parasites were studied in the wood mouse, apodemus sylvaticus, in southern england in september of each of four successive years (1994-1997). nine species of helminths were recorded: five nematodes (heligmosomoides polygyrus, syphacia stroma, pelodera strongyloides, trichuris muris, capillaria murissylvatici), two cestodes (microsomacanthus crenata, taenia taeniaeformis) and two trematodes (corrigia vitta, brachylaemus recurvum). in total, 134 mice were examined and 91.8% carried at lea ... | 1999 | 10431369 |
| 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 |
