A list of the ecto- and endoparasites of the Polynesian rat, Rattus exulans, from throughout its geographical range is presented here. The majority of the New Zealand populations included in this survey came from 'exulans only' islands while all but one of the non-New Zealand reports came from places where other rodent species are sympatric. This information is intended among other things to highlight gaps in our knowledge of and stimulate an interest in the parasitology of this rat.
本文列出了波利尼西亚鼠(Rattus exulans)在其整个地理分布范围内的体外和体内寄生虫。本次调查纳入的大多数新西兰种群来自“仅exulans”岛屿,而除一份报告外,所有非新西兰地区的报告均来自其他啮齿动物物种同域分布的地方。这些信息旨在突出我们在该鼠类寄生虫学知识方面的空白,并激发人们对其的兴趣。
