A Preliminary Survey of Gastrointestinal Helminths of Murids (Rodentia: Muridae) at Five Selected Localities in Western Sarawak
Field survey of gastrointestinal helminths on rodents from family Muridae were conducted at five localities in Western Sarawak from June 2013 until April 2014. A total of 31 host individuals comprising six species of murids were examined for gastrointestinal helminths using opportunistic necropsy....

| description | Field survey of gastrointestinal helminths on rodents from family Muridae were conducted at five localities in
Western Sarawak from June 2013 until April 2014. A total of 31 host individuals comprising six species of
murids were examined for gastrointestinal helminths using opportunistic necropsy. The hosts examined were
Leopoldamys sabanus, Maxomys rajah, M. surifer, M. whiteheadi, Niviventer cremoriventer and Sundamys
muelleri. Of these host species, 186 individuals consisting of two taxonomic groups of helminths were
recovered, namely Nematoda and Cestoda. This study contributes to the growing literature on the infestation of
endoparasites in rodents especially in Sarawak. |
