Abstract
Results of helminthologic examinаtion of wintered water voles are reported. In this group of voles, 13 helminth species were detected: 1 - trematoda, 8 - cestodes, and 6 - nematodes. Among them, trematode Notocotilus noyeri Joyex, 1922 (88 ± 2,7) % and cestode Arvicolepis transfuga (Spassky et Merkusheva, 1967) (68,9 ± 3,8) % dominate in invasion extensiveness. Factors determining the probability of vole invermination with the background helminth species are considered. A connection between the perennial dynamics of the host number with the dynamics of invermination with the dominant parasite species is established.
