Abstract
This study was made in the department of Biology / college of education ( Missan) / University of Basrah , to Knew the intestinal parasites which infected the rodents (Mice and Rats) and its effect on this hosts, the number of mice which collected was (51) and the rats was (45). The microscopic examination to contain of intestinal of these animal shown the following parasites : 1. Nyctotherus sp . 2.Trichomonas muris 3. Hymenolepis nana The number of infected mice with one parasite was (24) mouse, with two species of parasite was (5) mice and the other was empty from the intestinal parasites. The number of infected rats with one species of parasite was (18) , with two species was (6) rats and with three species was (5). About the effect of these parasites on their hosts, observed significant decrease in value Hb and PCV in infected animal comparative with control. Also the infection especially twice infection in mice caused significant increased in total number of WBC and increase the number of Neutrophile and Eosinophile but decrease the number of lymphocytes. While in rats the infection with all types was no effected on the total number of WBC , eosinophiles and Basophiles . while the infection especially with three parasites shown significant increase in the number of neutrophiles and decrease in the number of lymphocytes .
