| A survey for zoonotic and nonzoonotic endoparasites of rodents carried out at some highly infested districts of Baghdad. A total of 186 rodents of three species was examined , comprising of 89 R. norvegicus , 62 Rattus rattus and 35 Mus musculus . Fourteen species belonging to twelve genera were identified. The most prevalent species of rodents was R. norvegicus in which zoonotic H. diminuta (24%) , H. nana (10.7%) and Cysticercus fasciolaris ( 9%) were the most prevalent species of protozoan and helminth parasites respectively. Zoonotic protozoa T. lewisi and Sarcocystis sp. in R. norvegicus were most prevelnt than B.microti in R.rattus .Nonzoonotic endoparasites Vampirolepis sp. ,M. rodentium, S. obvelata , Trichuris sp. and T. musculi were recorded with wide variation prevalence in the rodents species under study. New records of B. microti , new host for T. lewisi and C. fasciolaris (Strobilocercus) Hydatigena type larval infection of Taenia sp. of rodents species in Baghdad area under study. | ||
