In order to determine the role of rodents as potential reservoirs for zoonotic parasites, different indices of helminth infection were assessed with respect to sex, age, season and urban landscapes. A total of 107 individuals of R. rattus were examined. Seven species of helminths were found. The values of total prevalence, mean intensity and mean abundance were 68%, 20 and 13, respectively.

Niveles de infección de helmintos de Rattus rattus (Rodentia: Muridae) en la ciudad de Co- rrientes, Argentina. El objetivo del trabajo fue describir los niveles de infección de Rattus rattus en la ciudad de Corrientes, provincia de Corrientes, Argentina. Con el objetivo de determinar el rol de los roedores como reservorios potenciales de parásitos zoonóticos, se analizó la distribución de helmintos respecto al sexo, edad, estación del año y ambientes urbanos. Un total de 107 individuos de R. rattus fueron examinados. Se identificaron siete especies de helmintos. Los valores de prevalencia total, intensidad media y abundancia media fueron 68%, 20 y 13, respectivamente. Nippostrongylus brasiliensis fue la especie más prevalente y abundante. Los resultados demostraron que la edad de los roedores y la estación del año tuvieron efectos en la infección con helmintos. 2023-08-11T11:50:50Z 2023-08-11T11:50:50Z 2018 Artículo Gómez Muñóz, María de los Ángeles, et al., 2018.

The aim of this study was to describe the infection levels of helminths of Rattus rattus in Cor-
rientes city, Corrientes Province, Argentina. In order to determine the role of rodents as potential reservoirs
for zoonotic parasites, different indices of helminth infection were assessed with respect to sex, age, season
and urban landscapes. A total of 107 individuals of R. rattus were examined. Seven species of helminths were
found. The values of total prevalence, mean intensity and mean abundance were 68%, 20 and 13, respectively.
Nippostrongylus brasiliensis was the species more prevalent and abundant. The results showed that the age of
the rodents and the season of capture had effects on the helminth infection. |
