Abstract
Species composition of helminthes and population genetic variability indices of small mammals were studied in 17 localities of Western Siberia. There is a positive correlation between species diversity indices of small mammals and their helminthes (r = + 0.57, P < 0.001) and a negative correlation between species diversity indices of helminthes and population genetic variability of their hosts.
