Primeros datos acerca de la helmintofauna de los roedores del Delta del Ebro (Península Ibérica)

Abstract

First data about the helmintofauna of Rodent species of the Ebro Delta (Iberian Peninsula)
The helminthological study of 515 Rodents (Muridae: 8 Rattusrattus Linnaeus, 1758, 259 Rattus norvegicus Berkenhout, 1769, 185 Mus musculus Linnaeus, 1758; Arvicolidae: 43 Arvicola sapidus Miller, 1908), from 9 enclaves of the Ebro Delta (NE of the Iberian Peninsula), has shown the presence of 19 helminth species (5 Trematoda, 3 Cestoda and 11 Nematoda). This paper gives the first data about the helminthfauna of Rodents of Ebro Delta, which appears to be influenced by the peculiar ecological conditions of this zone.
