Abstract

Seasonal fluctuations in the prevalence and abundance of infection with intestinal helminths were studied in Apodemus sylvaticus (wood mouse, n = 399), from three contrasting habitats in southern England, to test the hypothesis that both intrinsic (host sex, age) and extrinsic (season, site) factors influence parasite species richness and abundance. Five species of helminths were recovered but only one of these (Capillaria murissylvatici) was site-specific (Dungeness). Total species richness was therefore 5 at Dungeness and 4 at the other two sites. Mean species richness was 1.4, but in adult mice there was a pronounced difference between the sites, and an independent highly significant effect of season. Syphacia stroma and Corrigia vitta both showed marked differences between sites in respect of prevalence and abundance of infection. Capillaria murissylvatici was encountered at Dungeness mostly in the spring whereas seasonal changes in abundance ofS. stroma were consistent across all three sites. Seasonal fluctuations in the abundance of Catenotaenia pusilla were compounded by differences between sites. Host sex was not a significant factor in any species, although a posteriorianalysis of S. stromaworm burdens for the Isle of Wight site revealed a moderate local sex effect. Overall the principal determinants of variation in helminth burdens were the extrinsic factors, site and season.

英格兰东南部三种截然不同的栖息地Apodemus sylvaticus肠道蠕虫群落结构的季节性变化和特定地点的变化

我们研究了英格兰南部三种不同栖息地林鼠（Apodemus sylvaticus，n = 399）肠道蠕虫感染率和感染量的季节性波动，以检验内在（宿主性别、年龄）和外在（季节、地点）因素对寄生虫物种丰富度和感染量的影响。共发现五种蠕虫，但其中只有一种（Capillaria murissylvatici）是特定地点（邓杰内斯）发现的。因此，邓杰内斯的总物种丰富度为 5，其他两个地点为 4。平均物种丰富度为 1.4，但不同地点的成鼠物种丰富度存在明显差异，季节的影响也非常显著。在感染的流行率和丰富度方面，Syphacia stroma 和 Corrigia vitta 在不同地点都表现出明显的差异。在邓杰内斯（Dungeness），Capillaria murissylvatici 主要在春季出现，而在所有三个地点，S. stroma 数量的季节性变化是一致的。Catenotaenia pusilla数量的季节性波动因不同地点之间的差异而加剧。寄主性别对任何物种都不是一个重要的因素，尽管对怀特岛的虹彩蓑蛾数量进行的后验分析表明，当地存在中度的性别效应。总体而言，蠕虫负担变化的主要决定因素是外在因素、地点和季节。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
