cestodes, native rodents, parasites, Syphacia phyllotios, Trichuris pardinasiAbstract
In this article we report parasitic helminths of Phyllotis xanthopygus (Rodentia, Cricetidae) for La Rioja Province, Argentina: Syphacia phyllotios (Oxyuridae), Trichuris pardinasi (Trichuridae) nematods, and three indeterminate cestodes taxa (one adult and two inmature stages). Syphacia phyllotios is described for the first time as a parasite of P. xanthopygus, being this the first record of this species for the country.
