AB  - Bats are the only true flying mammals, and their capacity for flight has contributed to their worldwide distribution. Consequently, they have important functional roles in terrestrial ecosystems in general. These
mammals are reliable bioindicators of the condition of the environments they inhabit and have a regulatory effect on the abundance of crepuscular and nocturnal insects. Many species of bats feed on insects that are either vectors of pathogens that cause diseases of animals and people, or agricultural pests that inflict grave economic losses. The endoparasitic helminths of bats have attracted relatively little attention from parasitologists; therefore, the aim of this study is to contribute to the knowledge on the intestinal Nematodes of Myotis bats in Serbia. We investigated the helminth fauna of 65 individual bats belonging to five different species of the genus Myotis (M. mystacinus, M. alcathoe, M. brandtii, M. blythii, M. myotis). The hosts were sampled from ten sites on the territory of Serbia. Four nematode species were identified: Molinostrongylus alatus, Capillaria neopulchra, Physaloptera sp. and Rictularia bovieri. Intestinal Nematodes infected 48 host individuals, resulting in a prevalence of 73.8%. Molinostrongylus alatus had the highest prevalence (64.6%) and mean abundance (8.2). None of the registered nematode species have zoonotic potential.

AB  - As part of research activities focused on rodent helminth fauna in Serbia, over the course of the previous decade, we registered the pres-ence of species with zoonotic potential, Moniliformis moniliformis, an acan-thocephalan (or spiny-headed worm) intestinal parasite that primarily in-fects rats, mice and voles. The adult form of the species M. moniliformis was found in the small intestine of three individuals of the yellow-necked mouse (Apodemus flavicollis) in the localities of Donji Milanovac, Cer Moun-tain and Senokos. Another species of Acanthocephala, reported in earlier studies of Spermophilus citellus in Serbia, is Macracanthorhynchus hirudi-naceus, which also has zoonotic potential. Data on human infection with the aforementioned acanthocephalans are scarce all over the world, in-cluding Serbia, but they should not be ignored. Considering that the pres-ence of spiny-headed worms with zoonotic potential in our country was established during the last years of research, it is necessary to develop awareness of the potential risk for public health and actively monitor this group of helminths and their definitive hosts throughout the country. Reg-ular deratisation and disinsection in order to regulate the number of pop-ulations of rodents and insects that transmit acanthocephalans among other helminths in urban areas, are of great importance for the prevention of infection with these helminths. Implementing basic hygiene measures, as well as maintaining a healthy environment are essential measures to prevent the transmission of infection to humans. These proposed activities are in line with the One health approach, which stands at the intersection of human, animal and environmental health.

AB  - Heligmosomoides nematodes are frequent intestinal parasites of rodents, primarily mice and voles. The common species H. polygyrus is closely related to the highly prevalent nematodes infecting humans. It is assumed that the Asian species H. neopolygyrus arrived in Europe with its host Apodemus agrarius, and the presence of this nematode was first rec-orded in a striped field mouse in Poland in 2014. We present a preliminary report of two A. agrarius from the Special Nature Reserve Koviljsko-petrova-radinski rit and Kameničko Island in Serbia, which were found to be in-fected with H. neopolygyrus. Current research is based on phylogenetic analyses of cyt b sequences of Heligmosomoides isolated from Apodemus species. Preliminary results showed clustering of sequences isolates from A.agrarius from this study with those of H. neopolygyrus from A. agrariusfrom Poland, but also with H. polygyrus from A. agrarius (Poland) and A. ura-lensis (Russia). Due to the great morphological similarities of H. polygyrusand H. neopolygyrus, some specimens may have previously been misiden-tified as H. polygyrus, which is why the presence of H. neopolygyrus on theEuropean continent was only recently established. The most significantmorphological difference between the two species is seen in the proximalsection of external dorsal rays of the male's copulatory bursa, which is fili-form in H. neopolygyrus and swollen in H. polygyrus. The use of molecularmarkers may overcome the problems of morphological misidentificationin the future. Considering the biology and ecology of other Apodemus spe-cies, as well as voles, the presence of H. neopolygyrus can be expected inthese hosts as well.

AB  - Special nature reserve Koviljski rit is one of the rare remaining floodplains within the Pannom
plain in Serbia, representing a mosaic of woodland, meadow, marsh and pond ecosystems that ar:
tightly interconnected into a unique habitat characterised by high biodiversity, particularly amon1
small rodents. Over the course of field research in this area carried out in 2019, seven rodent specie
were registered (Apodemus agrarius, A. flavicollis, A. sylvaticus, Micromys minutus, Mus musculus
Microtus agrestis, M. arvalis), and 47 individuals of these species were captured and subjected t
helminthologkal examination. Ten nematode species (Heligmosomoides polygyrus, Heterakis spumosa,
Mastophorus muris, Strongyloides ratti, Syphacia agraria, S. frederici, S. montana, S. stroma, Trichuri muris, Calodium hepaticum) and two tapeworm species (Hymenolepis fraterna, Skrjabinotaenia lobata)
were found. Infection prevalence in the total host population was 85.1%. Of the individual nematode
species, H. polygyrus was the most prevalent (57.4%), S. stroma had the highest mean infection intensity (116), and S. agraria had the highest mean abundance (25.8). From a zoonotic standpoint, the most
significant species was C. hepaticum, which parasitises on the host liver. Its infection prevalence
was 43% which does not indicate infection hotspots, but certainly requires increased attention and
monitoring. Parasites are ubiquitous in the lives of wild animals and constitute a major component
of biodiversity. More than 50% of known species on Earth are parasites or pathogens, and over 60%
of human pathogens are of zoonotic origin. Helminths are the most prevalent group of macroscopic
endoparasites, with helminthiases considered as a major issue in infective disease. Helminths,
particularly gastrointestinal nematodes, can greatly influence human and animal health. In the
context of global anthropogenic changes of natural ecosystems, studies of helminths of wild mammals
in protected areas are of special interest, simply because the diversity of animals and their parasites is
highly preserved in such areas due to their protection regimes. Rodent population control and studies
of their helminth fauna in these areas is a primary means of control of the zoonoses they carry.

AB  - Iako je odavno poznato da postoji povezanost između zdravlja životne sredine, životinja i ljudi, svest o ovom konceptu je podignuta relativno nedavno. Koliko je ova povezanost jaka jasno se može uočiti kada antropogeni uticaj izvede prirodne ekosisteme iz stanja ravnoteže. Tokom proteklih decenija putovanja su sve češća, te čovek može preći velike razdaljine za kratko vreme. Jedna osoba ili kućni ljubimac koji putuje sa vlasnikom može preneti zaraznu bolest sa jednog kraja sveta na drugi za 24 časa, što može dovesti do velikih zdravstvenih problema, pa i epidemija u novoj sredini. U takvim slučajevima, intervencije i njihovi rezultati zavise od saradnje učesnika u održavanju javnog zdravlja ljudi, zdravlja životinja i životne sredine. Značajno mesto u tom procesu, pored medicinara i veterinara, imaju i biolozi i ekolozi, koji su eksperti za praćenje stanja ekosistema i kretanja populacija divljih vrsta životinja koje mogu biti vektori, prelazni, paratenični i definitivni domaćini patogena. Oni utvrđuju stanje sredine, stepen izmenjenosti pod antropogenim uticajem i nivo poremećaja brojčanih odnosa populacija u zajednici. Takođe, mogu utvrditi prisustvo patogena u divljim populacijama, što je naročito značajno tamo gde je moguć njihov kontakt sa ljudima i domaćim životinjama. Ovde će biti prikazan kratak pregled jednog broja takvih studija, čiji značaj je izuzetan, jer prisustvo patogena kod divljih životinja ukazuje na njegovo prisustvo u okruženju, odakle se lako prenosi na ljude
AB  - Иако је одавно познато да постоји повезаност између здравља животне средине,
животиња и људи, свест о овом концепту је подигнутa релативно недавно.1 Колико
је ова повезаност јака јасно се може уочити када антропогени утицај изведе
природне екосистеме из стања равнотеже. Током протеклих деценија путовања су
све чешћа, те човек може прећи велике раздаљине за кратко време. Једна особа или
кућни љубимац који путује са власником може пренети заразну болест са једног
краја света на други за 24 часа, што може довести до великих здравствених
проблема, па и епидемија у новој средини. У таквим случајевима, интервенције и
њихови резултати зависе од сарадње учесника у одржавању јавног здравља људи,
здравља животиња и животне средине. Значајно место у том процесу, поред
медицинара и ветеринара, имају и биолози и еколози, који су експерти за праћење
стања екосистема и кретања популација дивљих врста животиња које могу бити
вектори, прелазни, паратенични и дефинитивни домаћини патогена. Они утврђују
стање средине, степен измењености под антропогеним утицајем и ниво поремећаја
бројчаних односа популација у заједници. Такође, могу утврдити присуство
патогена у дивљим популацијама, што је нарочито значајно тамо где је могућ
њихов контакт са људима и домаћим животињама.1,2,3 Овде ће бити приказан
кратак преглед једног броја таквих студија, чији значај је изузетан, јер присуство
патогена код дивљих животиња указује на његово присуство у окружењу, одакле

abstract = "Iako je odavno poznato da postoji povezanost između zdravlja životne sredine, životinja i ljudi, svest o ovom konceptu je podignuta relativno nedavno. Koliko je ova povezanost jaka jasno se može uočiti kada antropogeni uticaj izvede prirodne ekosisteme iz stanja ravnoteže. Tokom proteklih decenija putovanja su sve češća, te čovek može preći velike razdaljine za kratko vreme. Jedna osoba ili kućni ljubimac koji putuje sa vlasnikom može preneti zaraznu bolest sa jednog kraja sveta na drugi za 24 časa, što može dovesti do velikih zdravstvenih problema, pa i epidemija u novoj sredini. U takvim slučajevima, intervencije i njihovi rezultati zavise od saradnje učesnika u održavanju javnog zdravlja ljudi, zdravlja životinja i životne sredine. Značajno mesto u tom procesu, pored medicinara i veterinara, imaju i biolozi i ekolozi, koji su eksperti za praćenje stanja ekosistema i kretanja populacija divljih vrsta životinja koje mogu biti vektori, prelazni, paratenični i definitivni domaćini patogena. Oni utvrđuju stanje sredine, stepen izmenjenosti pod antropogenim uticajem i nivo poremećaja brojčanih odnosa populacija u zajednici. Takođe, mogu utvrditi prisustvo patogena u divljim populacijama, što je naročito značajno tamo gde je moguć njihov kontakt sa ljudima i domaćim životinjama. Ovde će biti prikazan kratak pregled jednog broja takvih studija, čiji značaj je izuzetan, jer prisustvo patogena kod divljih životinja ukazuje na njegovo prisustvo u okruženju, odakle se lako prenosi na ljude, Иако је одавно познато да постоји повезаност између здравља животне средине,
животиња и људи, свест о овом концепту је подигнутa релативно недавно.1 Колико
је ова повезаност јака јасно се може уочити када антропогени утицај изведе
природне екосистеме из стања равнотеже. Током протеклих деценија путовања су
све чешћа, те човек може прећи велике раздаљине за кратко време. Једна особа или
кућни љубимац који путује са власником може пренети заразну болест са једног
краја света на други за 24 часа, што може довести до великих здравствених
проблема, па и епидемија у новој средини. У таквим случајевима, интервенције и
њихови резултати зависе од сарадње учесника у одржавању јавног здравља људи,
здравља животиња и животне средине. Значајно место у том процесу, поред
медицинара и ветеринара, имају и биолози и еколози, који су експерти за праћење
стања екосистема и кретања популација дивљих врста животиња које могу бити
вектори, прелазни, паратенични и дефинитивни домаћини патогена. Они утврђују
стање средине, степен измењености под антропогеним утицајем и ниво поремећаја
бројчаних односа популација у заједници. Такође, могу утврдити присуство
патогена у дивљим популацијама, што је нарочито значајно тамо где је могућ
њихов контакт са људима и домаћим животињама.1,2,3 Овде ће бити приказан
кратак преглед једног броја таквих студија, чији значај је изузетан, јер присуство
патогена код дивљих животиња указује на његово присуство у окружењу, одакле

AB  - A total of 231 individual mouse-like rodents (striped field mice Apodemus agrarius, yellow-necked mice
A. flavicollis and common voles Microtus arvalis) from five localities in Serbia were subjected to parasitological research. Seven helminth species were identified based on morphological and morphometric criteria: two trematodes (Brachylaimus recurvus and B. apodemi) and five cestodes (Hymenolepis fraterna, H. diminuta, H. straminea, Paranoplocephala omphalodes and Skrjabinotaenia lobata). Total sample prevalence was 15.1% (14.9% in female and 15.4% in male hosts) with a significantly higher number of infected A. agrarius specimens than infected A. flavicollis specimens.
Furthermore, the studied Apodemus host species differed in parasite species richness. Yellow-necked mice served as hosts for five flatworm species, while in striped field mice only three species were found. The species that infected the highest number of hosts was H. fraterna. The trematodes B. recurvus and B. apodemi are reported in Serbia for the first time. We highlight the presence of two species with zoonotic potential, H. fraterna and H. diminuta, in the sample of Apodemus hosts, pointing to a need for future monitoring.

AB  - Helminths represent hidden components of biodiversity in natural communities. Rather than elicit interest in their conservation, these endoparasitic worms tend to cause indifference or even disgust because of their appearance and way of life. However, they are present in every ecosystem and play a key role by integrating themselves into food webs and thereby securing their survival. Over the course of decades of research, 47 helminths were recorded in 10 rodent species in Serbia, with nematodes being the dominant group (29 species). Some helminths have high zoonotic potential due to their ability to infect humans, pets and domestic animals. This study focusses on hepatic helminths in a sample of six host species analysed over an eight-year period. Three tapeworm species and one nematode species were recorded, and their significance is broadly stated.
A total of 770 wild rodents belonging to the species Apodemus flavicollis, A. agrarius, A. sylvaticus, Myodes glareolus, Microtus arvalis, and M. subterraneus were captured from 42 sites in Serbia from 2013-2021, dissected, and examined for cysts and lesions. For confirmation of parasite species, DNA was extracted and mitochondrial marker 12S rDNA was amplified and sequenced. Nematode eggs and larvae were detected based on histological slides made from the liver samples. 
The livers of 47 hosts contained cysts or visible lesions (6.1%). 12S rDNA fragment amplified successfully in 13 larval samples (1.68%), and three Taenia species were identified. Hydatigera (Taenia) taeniaeformis was dominant, followed by T. martis and T. crassiceps. No cysts were found in A. sylvaticus and M. subterraneus. Histological examination of the liver confirmed the presence of the nematode Calodium hepaticum in all three Apodemus host species, with a prevalence of 0.9%.
Carnivores act as definitive hosts for all the registered tapeworm species: canids for T. crassiceps, felids for T. taeniaeformis (including domestic dogs and cats) and mustelids for T. martis. Rodents are intermediate hosts and carry cysts (cysticerci) on their livers. All three species have been confirmed to infect humans. Another tapeworm species whose larvae are found in rodent livers is Echinococcus multilocularis. This parasite has been found in foxes and jackals in Serbia, and it is only a matter of time before it is reported from rodents as well. Considering the grave clinical presentation of E. multilocularis infection in humans, increased vigilance and monitoring of its presence in intermediate and definitive hosts is advised. Both adults and eggs of C. hepaticum are found in rodent hepatic tissue but can infect other animals and humans. Infections are most frequently reported in children aged one to five and may be fatal.
While far from attractive in the most general sense, helminths are an important component of biodiversity in every ecosystem and affect the behaviour, fitness and abundance of its constituent species. They can indicate the condition and population dynamics of endangered species and overall ecosystem function. Due to their effects on humans and domestic animals, it is of key importance to monitor helminth diversity and populations in intermediate and definitive hosts.

AB  - Endoparasites are organisms that live in a very specific type of habitat: the internal organs of their hosts. The effect of host characteristics on parasites and vice versa can thus be compared to the interplay between free-living organisms and their environment. Host-parasite interactions are astoundingly complex and many studies to this date have attempted to shed more light on them. In the current study, we investigated the relationship between selected host traits and intestinal nematode abundance. The intestinal tracts of 76 rodents of seven species (Apodemus agrarius, A. flavicollis, A. sylvaticus, Micromys minutus, Microtus arvalis, M. agrestis, Mus musculus) from 6 localities in the Vojvodina province of Serbia were searched for nematode parasites. Biometric parameters (body mass, body, tail, hindfoot and ear length) and spleen mass were measured for all hosts. The intestinal tract of the dissected rodents was cut open and its contents examined under stereomicroscope; nematodes were collected and stored in 70% alcohol prior to species identification. The most common nematode species in the host sample was the trichostrongyloid Heligmosomoides polygyrus. To test for possible cause-and-effect relationships, linear regression was carried out with spleen mass as the response variable and body mass, body, tail, hindfoot and ear length, number of H. polygyrus and total number of nematodes as predictor variables. A separate linear regression used H. polygyrus and total nematode abundance as response variables, and host body mass and length as predictor variables. Body mass (F = 21.259, p < 0.001), body length (F = 18.208, p < 0.001), tail length (F = 4.465, p = 0.038), ear length (F = 5.181, p = 0.026) and hindfoot length (F = 5.089, p = 0.027) all significantly and positively influenced spleen mass. Conversely, abundance of H. polygyrus and intestinal nematodes in general had no significant effect on spleen mass. However, body mass (F = 23.173, p < 0.001) and body length (F = 9.746, p = 0.003) of the host significantly and positively affected H. polygyrus abundance; neither factor influenced total nematode abundance. The regression results suggest that there is a positive cause-and-effect relationship between host body size (mass and length) and the number of H. polygyrus worms. Such a result provides support for the hypothesis that larger hosts should be more infected because they represent better targets for parasites. While practically invisible, parasites are an important component of every community on planet Earth. With this in mind, disentangling the complicated biotic interactions between host characteristics and parasite abundance is an important part of ecological studies, as it provides us with a better understanding of processes and relationships within any given ecosystem.

AB  - Background. In wild populatons of small rodents, different intrinsic and extrinsic factors affect variation in parasite burdens. The energetc status of animals has a great impact on the immune system, while environmental factors can change the relatonship between infecton and the host body conditon. We aimed to analyse the relatonship between relevant morphological traits and parasitological parameters in populatons of yellow-necked mice, Apodemus flavicollis (Melchior, 1834).
Material and Methods. Nematode burdens were assessed in 49 A. flavicollis, from 7 different localities in Serbia. Morphometric data were measured for all captured mice. Spleen mass was used as a proxy of immunocompetence. The host body conditon, individual parasite load (IndPL), individual parasite species richness (IndPSR), prevalence, mean abundance and mean infecton intensity were calculated.
Results. A total of 12 nematode species were recorded in A. flavicollis. The overall prevalence of infection was very high (100%). Individual parasite species richness (IndPSR) was signifcantly positvely correlated with body conditon (R2=0.173; p=0.003), and the same patern was observed in both sexes. Spleen size was also signifcantly positvely correlated with body conditon (R2=0.344, p<0.005) and body mass (R2=0.341, p<0.005). Contrary to expected, no parasitological indices (IndPSR and IndPL) were signifcantly related to spleen mass.
Conclusion. Animals exhibitng beter body conditons are parasitzed simultaneously with a higher number of nematode species (i.e. their parasite infracommunites are richer). This could prevent any of them to become overabundant in host.

Анализиране врсте домаћина са седам испитиваних локалитета су: Apodemus sylvaticus (Каћка шума (1), Иришки венац (9), Старо Хопово (1), Змајевац (3), Ковиљски рит (4), Дунавац-Карловци (2)), A. flavicollis (Каћка шума (4), Иришки венац (9), Старо Хопово (4), Змајевац (8), Ковиљски рит (16)), A. agrarius (Иришки венац (1), Ковиљски рит (23), Дунавац-Карловци (3)), Mus musculus (Ковиљски рит (1)), Microtus arvalis (Ковиљски рит (1)), Microtus agrestis (Ковиљски рит (1)), Micromys minutus (Ковиљски рит (1)) и Rattus norvegicus (Лука Нови Сад (9)).
Од интестиналних паразита у оквиру раздела нематода нађено је седам врста ваљкастих црва: Eucoleus sp, Heligmosomoides polygyrus, Heterakis spumosa, Mastophorus muris, Rictularia proni, Syphacia frederici и Trichuris muris. Врста Eucoleus sp. је нађена само код жутогрлог миша (A. flavicollis) и то на два локалитета (Иришки венац и Старо Хопово). Врста Heterakis spumosa је нађена само код пругастог пољског миша (A. agrarius). За разлику од њих, јединке врсте H. polygyrus нађене су на свим испитиваним локалитетима, као и код све три врсте рода Apodemus. Биохелминти Mastophorus muris и Rictularia proni су били присутни са јувенилним стадијумима, и то Mastophorus muris код домаћина A. agrarius на локалитету Дунавац-Карловци, а Rictularia proni код домаћина A. flavicollis на локалитету Старо Хопово. Врсте S. frederici и T. muris се јављају код жутогрлог (A. flavicollis) и шумског миша (A. sylvaticus), те на већини испитиваних локалитета.
AB  - From August to November 2019, 101 individual rodents were captured and dissected, and their intestinal helminths were extracted. The analyzed host species from seven study sites were: Apodemus sylvaticus (Kać forest (1), Iriški venac (9), Staro Hopovo (1), Zmajevac (3), Koviljski rit marsh (4), Dunavac-Karlovci (2)), A. flavicollis (Kać forest (4), Iriški venac (9), Staro Hopovo (4), Zmajevac (8), Koviljski rit (16)), A. agrarius (Iriški venac (1), Koviljski rit marsh (23), Dunavac-Karlovci (3)), Mus musculus (Koviljski rit marsh (1)), Microtus arvalis (Koviljski rit marsh (1)), Microtus agrestis (Koviljski rit marsh (1)), Micromys minutus (Koviljski rit marsh (1)) and Rattus norvegicus (Novi Sad harbor (9)). Seven species of intestinal nematode parasites were found: Eucoleus sp, Heligmosomoides polygyrus, Heterakis spumosa, Mastophorus muris, Rictularia proni, Syphacia frederici and Trichuris muris. Eucoleus sp. was detected only in yellow-necked mice (A. flavicollis) from two sites, Iriški venac and Staro Hopovo, whereas H. spumosa was noted only in the striped field mouse (A. agrarius). On the other hand, H. polygyrus was found on all the study sites and in all three Apodemus species. The heteroxenous species M. muris and R. proni were represented by juveniles: the former was found in A. agrarius at Dunavac-Karlovci, and the latter in A. flavicollis at Staro Hopovo. The species S. frederici and T. muris were detected in A. flavicollis and A. sylvaticus in most study sites.

AB  - Rodents host a variety of parasitic worms that often cause diseases in animals and humans,
better known as helminths. A total of 47 helminth species in 10 rodent hosts from 15 sites
have been noted in the territory of Serbia: three species of flukes, 13 species of tapeworms,
two species of spiny-headed worms and 29 species of roundworms. Of the tapeworms,
Hymenolepis fraterna infected the most host species (6) at the highest number of sites (5).
Among roundworms, the species found in the largest number of host species (5) and sites (13)
was Heligmosomoides polygyrus. Other widely distributed roundworms were Syphacia
stroma (four host species, 12 sites) and S. frederici (three host species, 10 sites). The sites
with the highest diversity of rodent helminths were the Belgrade area, Fruška gora mountain
and Zasavica. Eleven parasite species, among them Hymenolepis nana, H. diminuta,
Calodium hepaticum and Hydatigera taeniaeformis, are potentially zoonotic. Future studies
must include more sites and potentially invasive and invasive host species. Parasites such as
Echinococcus multilocularis, Alaria alata and Trichinella sp. deserve special attention: they
have been reported in Serbia from non-rodent hosts, but their life cycles include rodents.
Indicating the presence of a particular zoonotic group or species in rodents and defining their
distribution and prevalence builds a foundation for quantitative and qualitative analyses
necessary to monitor agents of zoonosis. Information on infection prevalence in natural
reservoirs, urban environment contamination and frequency of human infection is integrated
under the One Health approach.

AB  - Background. B chromosomes are supernumerary chromosomes that have been discovered in over 1000 eukaryote species. They show remarkable variaton in structure and behaviour, their only common trait being their conditonal dispensability. The influence of these genetc elements on their carriers is stll debated, with the two most accepted models of their maintenance being the parasitc and the heterotc model.
Objectves. The purpose of this study was to investgate the possible influence of B chromosomes on quanttatve characteristcs of intestnal nematode infecton in the yellow-necked mouse (Apodemus flavicollis).
Material and Methods. A total of 305 mice were sampled across 18 localites on the territory of Serbia over five years. Every individual with more than 48 chromosomes was considered to have Bs. Afer dissecton, intestnal nematodes were extracted and identfed. An analysis of Bs influence on parasite prevalence and abundance was conducted, using the exact unconditonal test and generalized linear modelling respectvely.
Results. Nine intestnal nematode species were detected in the host sample. In the total host sample, both prevalence and abundance of intestnal nematodes were greater in Bs carriers. Two nematode species, Aspiculuris tetraptera and Mastophorus muris, had signifcantly higher prevalence in the B+ subset of the host sample. Similarly, B chromosomes explained a signifcant proporton of abundance variaton of the nematode species Syphacia frederici, with its abundance greater in Bs carriers.
Conclusion. While the results of this study show a possible connecton between Bs presence and higher prevalence and abundance of intestnal nematodes, this fnding is purely correlatonal. Previously published data indicate a complex effect of B chromosomes on host characteristcs and survival through various molecular pathways. Bs carriers may reap the benefts of increased survival prospects as a by-product of the selfsh behaviour of the chromosomes themselves, blurring the line between the parasitc and heterotc model.

abstract = "Background. B chromosomes are supernumerary chromosomes that have been discovered in over 1000 eukaryote species. They show remarkable variaton in structure and behaviour, their only common trait being their conditonal dispensability. The influence of these genetc elements on their carriers is stll debated, with the two most accepted models of their maintenance being the parasitc and the heterotc model.
Objectves. The purpose of this study was to investgate the possible influence of B chromosomes on quanttatve characteristcs of intestnal nematode infecton in the yellow-necked mouse (Apodemus flavicollis).
Material and Methods. A total of 305 mice were sampled across 18 localites on the territory of Serbia over five years. Every individual with more than 48 chromosomes was considered to have Bs. Afer dissecton, intestnal nematodes were extracted and identfed. An analysis of Bs influence on parasite prevalence and abundance was conducted, using the exact unconditonal test and generalized linear modelling respectvely.
Results. Nine intestnal nematode species were detected in the host sample. In the total host sample, both prevalence and abundance of intestnal nematodes were greater in Bs carriers.

AB  - Background. Because of globalizaton and urbanizaton, humans more frequently come into contact and cohabitate with wild animals, which leads to the possibility of pathogen transfer. Rodents commonly live near humans and domestc animals, and are well known natural reservoirs of zoonoses, including those caused by helminths. Climate changes can lead to zoonoses in previously non-endemic areas or in previously uninfected host species.
Material and Methods. Host samples were collected in areas such as picnic grounds, weekend settlements, and arable land. These are the places where humans and domestc animals can encounter infected animals or a contaminated environment, leading to pathogen transmission.
Results. During the study period, 11 host species from the families Muridae and Cricetdae were registered. Helminths were present in each host species, and fve of them were infected with parasites of medical and veterinary importance. The total species diversity of helminths in Serbian rodents consists of 36 identified species. Seven of them have confrmed zoonotc potental: Mesocestoides lineatus, Hymenolepis diminuta, H. nana (fraterna), Taenia marts, Hydatgena taeniaeformis, Calodium hepatcum and Moniliformis moniliformis. The dominant helminths regarding the number of infected host species and occurrence sites were H. diminuta, H. nana (fraterna) and M. lineatus.
Conclusion. Human travel and commerce over large distances facilitates the spread of parasites and their hosts into areas where they were previously absent. Additonally, the encroaching of human settlements into natural habitats, coupled with climate change, leads to parasites invading new hosts, including humans. All the above necessitates regular monitoring of rodent populatons, the parasites they carry, and their environment. Results of these analyses must be made available to physicians and veterinarians as evidence of parasite presence in a given area, which can allow experts to antcipate the occurrence of parasitc diseases in humans, livestock and/or pets.
