The prevalence of Pneumocystis carinii was compared in two species of shrews, Sorex araneus and Sorex caecutiens in Finnish Lapland. The overall prevalence of P. carinii in S. araneus was 70% and in S. caecutiens was 17%. The prevalence for S. araneus is the highest reported for wild animals. The interspecific differences in prevalence were significant for all sex and age groups except for adult males. Based on multiway contingency tables (log-linear models), there was no dependence between sex or age of S. araneus and occurrence of P. carinii. In individual S. araneus the intensity of P. carinii was not related to the total number of helminths or the number of helminth species, and no dependence was observed between the presence of P. carinii and various helminth species.
在芬兰拉普兰地区，对两种鼩鼱，即普通鼩鼱（Sorex araneus）和盲鼩鼱（Sorex caecutiens）的卡氏肺孢子虫患病率进行了比较。普通鼩鼱中卡氏肺孢子虫的总体患病率为70%，盲鼩鼱中为17%。普通鼩鼱的患病率是野生动物中报道的最高值。除成年雄性外，所有性别和年龄组的种间患病率差异均显著。基于多维列联表（对数线性模型），普通鼩鼱的性别或年龄与卡氏肺孢子虫的发生之间不存在相关性。在个体普通鼩鼱中，卡氏肺孢子虫的感染强度与蠕虫总数或蠕虫种类数量无关，并且未观察到卡氏肺孢子虫的存在与各种蠕虫种类之间存在相关性。
