In the present study, 29 bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) were studied for their endo- and ectoparasite fauna. The rodents were trapped in Dormagen, a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. A total of ten different parasite species were identified: four endoparasite (four Nematoda) and six ectoparasite (three Insecta, three Arachnida) species. The predominant endoparasite was the nematode Aonchotheca murissylvatici, followed by the nematode Heligmosomum costellatum, while the flea Ctenophthalmus agyrtes was the dominant ectoparasite. C. glareolus usually carried one to five different parasite species (mean 2.2). The bank voles were infected only by Nematoda, while Digenea or Cestoda species were not detected. The present findings are in clear contrast to the results obtained in other geographical regions of Germany and Europe, where eight different Cestoda species constituted the main part of the helminth parasites in C. glareolus. In the area investigated, the bank voles harbored no zoonotic parasites, and therefore, they play not a role as potential reservoir host for these parasite species.
在本研究中，对29只小林姬鼠（Clethrionomys glareolus）的体内和体外寄生虫群落进行了研究。这些啮齿动物是在德国北莱茵 - 威斯特法伦州的多马根市捕获的。总共鉴定出十种不同的寄生虫物种：四种体内寄生虫（四种线虫）和六种体外寄生虫（三种昆虫纲，三种蛛形纲）物种。主要的体内寄生虫是线虫林地奥氏线虫（Aonchotheca murissylvatici），其次是线虫有饰赫利格线虫（Heligmosomum costellatum），而跳蚤阿氏栉眼蚤（Ctenophthalmus agyrtes）是主要的体外寄生虫。小林姬鼠通常携带一到五种不同的寄生虫物种（平均2.2种）。小林姬鼠仅被线虫感染，未检测到复殖吸虫或绦虫物种。目前的研究结果与在德国和欧洲其他地理区域获得的结果形成鲜明对比，在那些地区，八种不同的绦虫物种构成了小林姬鼠体内蠕虫寄生虫的主要部分。在所调查的区域，小林姬鼠未携带人畜共患寄生虫，因此，它们不作为这些寄生虫物种的潜在储存宿主。
