Extract

Rodents, particularly those belonging to the family Muridae, form the largest group of mammals in Malaysia. They are also a group that has been well studied because of their medical and economic importance. Yet, comparatively little is known, in Malaysia, about the helminths that are associated with them; far less the types of terrain in which these are prevalent. An attempt is now made to survey the nematodes parasitic in these rodents, with a view to assessing the potential risk from those that are harmful to man and domestic animals, and to studying those that are harmless, but nevertheless form an enlightening contribution to the knowledge of Malaysian parasitic fauna.
