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  - Background
Hydatigera (Cestoda: Taeniidae) is a recently resurrected genus with the description of a new species, Hydatigera kamiyai, a cryptic entity within the Hydatigera taeniaeformis species complex. Rodents are intermediate hosts and correct taxonomic identification of H. taeniaeformis sensu lato (s.l.) species is difficult without the use of molecular methods. The aim of this study was to identify and explore the genetic diversity of Hydatigera and other taeniid species.

Methods
Ten different small mammals species (856 individuals) (Rattus rattus, three Apodemus, three Arvicolinae and three Soricidae species) were examined from 2013 to 2023. Captured animals were visually examined for cysts and visible lesions. Two markers were used for amplification and sequencing: cox1 and 12S rDNA.

Results
Molecular analysis of cysts and visible lesions revealed four taeniid species: Hydatigera kamiyai, H. taeniaeformis sensu stricto (s.s.), Taenia martis and T. crassiceps. Hydatigera kamiyai was found in Apodemus flavicollis, A. agrarius, Microtus arvalis and Crocidrua leucodon, while H. taeniaeformis s.s. is registered in R. rattus. Hydatigera kamiyai cox1 sequences clustered with European populations and showed at least 25 nucleotid differences compared to Asian, African, Australian and one of our isolates of H. taeniaeformis s.s acquired from a rat, followed by large sequence distances (9.4% to 12.9%), indicating clear molecular distinction of two species.

Conclusions
This is one of the few mitochondrial gene-based studies performed after the description of cryptic entities within the Hydatigera taeniaeformis s.l. complex and represents a valuable contribution to understanding of genetic diversity, host suitability and geographic distribution of these tapeworm species. Also, our study provides an important basis of molecular data from this part of Europe for further studies. We emphasize the importance of additional studies of intermediate hosts, especially rats from Europe and Apodemus spp. and voles from Asia and Africa.

AB  - The family Taeniidae recently consists of 4 genera, with a newly described cryptic species H. kamiyai within the Hydatigera genus. H. kamiyai is distributed across Europe to western Siberia, whereas H. taeniaeformis s.s. probably originated in Asia but has spread worldwide. Despite the extraordinary genetic divergence, the two species differ little morphologically, making it questionable whether morphological identification is even relevant in this case. Considering the geographical location of the studied area and the intermediate hosts targeted, we expected the presence of H. kamiyai, and our aim was to confirm this assumption by genetic analyses. From March to October 2013 to 2022, a total of 846 small mammals (Apodemus agrarius (152), Apodemus flavicollis (521), Apodemus sylvaticus (33), Microtus arvalis (48), Microtus subteraneus (17), Myodes glareolus (52), Crocidura suaveolens (13), Crocidura leucodon (7) and Sorex araneus (3)) were captured from 45 different localities in Serbia. Cysts and visible lesions in the body cavity and various organs were examined. Two markers (cox1 and 12S rDNA) were used for amplification and sequencing. A total of 21 strobilocercus of H. kamiyai were identified corresponding to thirteen sequences of the cox1 gene (318 bp) and eight of 12S rDNA (238 bp). H. kamiyai is found in 17 A. flavicollis, one A. agrarius, two M. arvalis, and one C. leucodon. According to the median-joining network, the 13 H. kamiyai cox1 sequences from this study clustered with isolates from Europe and western Siberia differing up to 2.7%. These results confirm and highlight the different geographic distribution and molecular differences in the Hydatigera genus. The results also confirm host suitability for this species. This is the first report of this newly described cryptic species in our country confirmed by genetic analysis.
AB  - Фамилија Taeniidae од недавно се састоји од 4 рода, са ново-описаном криптичном врстом Hydatigera kamiyai у оквиру рода Hydatigera. H. kamiyai врста је распрострањена широм Европе до западног Сибира, док H. taeniaeformis s.s вероватно потиче из Азије, али је распрострањена широм света. Упркос изузетној генетској дивергенцији, ове две врсте се мало разликују морфолошки, што доводи у питање да ли је морфолошка идентификација уопште релевантна у овом случају. С обзиром на географску локацију проучаваног подручја и циљане домаћине, очекивали смо присуство врсте H. kamiyai, са циљем да генетским анализама потврдимо ову претпоставку. Од марта до октобра 2013. до 2022., укупно 846 ситних сисара (Apodemus agrarius (152), Apodemus flavicollis (521), Apodemus sylvaticus (33), Microtus arvalis (48), Microtus subteraneus (17), Myodes glareolus (52), Crocidura suaveolens (13), Crocidura leucodon (7) и Sorex araneus (3)) прикупљено је са 45 различитих локалитета у Србији. Прегледане су цисте и видљиве лезије у телесној шупљини и разним органима. Два маркера (cox1 and 12S rDNA) коришћена су за амплификацију и секвенцирање. Идентификовано је укупно 21 strobilocercus H. kamiyai на основу тринаест секвенци гена cox1 (318bp) и осам секвенци 12S rDNA (238bp). H. kamiyai је регистрована код 17 A. flavicollis, једног A. agrarius, два M. arvalis и једне јединке C. leucodon. Према median-joining мрежи хаплотипова, 13 секвенци H. kamiyai cox1 из ове студије груписале су се са изолатима из Европе и западног Сибира који се разликују до 2.7%. Ови резултати потврђују и наглашавају различиту географску дистрибуцију и молекуларне разлике у роду Hydatigera. Резултати такође потврђују погодност испитиваних домаћина за ову врсту. Ово је први извештај ове ново-описане криптичне врсте код нас потврђен генетском анализом.

abstract = "The family Taeniidae recently consists of 4 genera, with a newly described cryptic species H. kamiyai within the Hydatigera genus. H. kamiyai is distributed across Europe to western Siberia, whereas H. taeniaeformis s.s. probably originated in Asia but has spread worldwide. Despite the extraordinary genetic divergence, the two species differ little morphologically, making it questionable whether morphological identification is even relevant in this case. Considering the geographical location of the studied area and the intermediate hosts targeted, we expected the presence of H. kamiyai, and our aim was to confirm this assumption by genetic analyses. From March to October 2013 to 2022, a total of 846 small mammals (Apodemus agrarius (152), Apodemus flavicollis (521), Apodemus sylvaticus (33), Microtus arvalis (48), Microtus subteraneus (17), Myodes glareolus (52), Crocidura suaveolens (13), Crocidura leucodon (7) and Sorex araneus (3)) were captured from 45 different localities in Serbia. Cysts and visible lesions in the body cavity and various organs were examined. Two markers (cox1 and 12S rDNA) were used for amplification and sequencing. A total of 21 strobilocercus of H. kamiyai were identified corresponding to thirteen sequences of the cox1 gene (318 bp) and eight of 12S rDNA (238 bp). H. kamiyai is found in 17 A. flavicollis, one A. agrarius, two M. arvalis, and one C. leucodon. According to the median-joining network, the 13 H. kamiyai cox1 sequences from this study clustered with isolates from Europe and western Siberia differing up to 2.7%. These results confirm and highlight the different geographic distribution and molecular differences in the Hydatigera genus. The results also confirm host suitability for this species. This is the first report of this newly described cryptic species in our country confirmed by genetic analysis., Фамилија Taeniidae од недавно се састоји од 4 рода, са ново-описаном криптичном врстом Hydatigera kamiyai у оквиру рода Hydatigera. H. kamiyai врста је распрострањена широм Европе до западног Сибира, док H. taeniaeformis s.s вероватно потиче из Азије, али је распрострањена широм света. Упркос изузетној генетској дивергенцији, ове две врсте се мало разликују морфолошки, што доводи у питање да ли је морфолошка идентификација уопште релевантна у овом случају. С обзиром на географску локацију проучаваног подручја и циљане домаћине, очекивали смо присуство врсте H. kamiyai, са циљем да генетским анализама потврдимо ову претпоставку. Од марта до октобра 2013. до 2022., укупно 846 ситних сисара (Apodemus agrarius (152), Apodemus flavicollis (521), Apodemus sylvaticus (33), Microtus arvalis (48), Microtus subteraneus (17), Myodes glareolus (52), Crocidura suaveolens (13), Crocidura leucodon (7) и Sorex araneus (3)) прикупљено је са 45 различитих локалитета у Србији. Прегледане су цисте и видљиве лезије у телесној шупљини и разним органима. Два маркера (cox1 and 12S rDNA) коришћена су за амплификацију и секвенцирање. Идентификовано је укупно 21 strobilocercus H. kamiyai на основу тринаест секвенци гена cox1 (318bp) и осам секвенци 12S rDNA (238bp). H. kamiyai је регистрована код 17 A. flavicollis, једног A. agrarius, два M. arvalis и једне јединке C. leucodon. Према median-joining мрежи хаплотипова, 13 секвенци H. kamiyai cox1 из ове студије груписале су се са изолатима из Европе и западног Сибира који се разликују до 2.7%. Ови резултати потврђују и наглашавају различиту географску дистрибуцију и молекуларне разлике у роду Hydatigera. Резултати такође потврђују погодност испитиваних домаћина за ову врсту. Ово је први извештај ове ново-описане криптичне врсте код нас потврђен генетском анализом.",

AB  - Introduction: Rodents play an important role as intermediate hosts in the transmission of many taeniid species, some of which have great zoonotic potential. Their larval stages develop in the host’s body cavities or internal organs. This study aimed to investigate wild rodent populations for cystic parasitic lesions and give insights into taeniid diversity. Methods: A total of 770 wild rodents belonging to the species Apodemus flavicollis (469), Apodemus agrarius (152), Apodemus sylvaticus (33), Myodes glareolus (51), Microtus arvalis (48), and Microtus subterraneus (17) 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.
Results: The total number of rodents that contained cysts or visible lesions were 47 (6.1%). 12S rDNA fragments amplified successfully in 13 larval samples, and three Taenia species were identified. Taenia taeniaeformis (1.03%;8/770) was dominantly present, followed by Taenia martis (0.51%;4/770), and Taenia crassiceps (0.12%;1/770). No cysts were found in A. sylvaticus and M. subterraneus.
Conclusions: We present here the first molecular identification of Taenia species in Serbia from larvae found in rodents. Since the applied mitochondrial marker did not amplify successfully in all samples, additional analyses using other genetic markers are needed, as well as further phylogenetic analyses.

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  - 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.

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  - Developmental stability (DS), along with canalization, represents an element of developmental
homeostasis (DH). DH is defined as the mechanism responsible for ensuring phenotypic
constancy in organisms despite the great variability of genetic and environmental features.
DS is usually measured by fluctuating asymmetry (FA) which refers to the minor, random
differences between the two sides in bilaterally symmetric traits. The factors that cause
FA can be either genetic or environmental in origin. In this study we used 276 mandibles
and 323 crania of adult yellow-necked mice (Apodemus flavicollis) featured by the frequent
presence of supernumerary B chromosomes (Bs). We investigated the associations between
developmental stability and susceptibility to nematode parasitism in this species in the
context of Bs presence or absence. In agreement with prevailing view that Bs are genomic
parasites, B carriers would possess lower level of DS, i.e. higher level of FA, compared to noncarriers.
We hypothesized that parasitized individuals should be more asymmetric as well.
By applying landmark-based geometric morphometrics, we estimated the levels of FA (FA10a
indices) for mandibular size and shape and cranial shape in non-parasitized B non-carriers
(NPB0), parasitized B non-carriers (PB0), non-parasitized B carriers (NPB+) and parasitized B
carriers (PB+). According to the hypotheses mentioned above, NPB0 mice would possess the
lowest FA10a indices. Although our results revealed no significant differences in the levels
of FA, NPB0 individuals are characterized by the lowest FA10a index for mandibular size, but
the highest FA10a index for cranial shape. Additionally, the similar levels of FA estimated for
PB0 and PB+ mice indicated that B chromosomes are not linked to developmental stability
and susceptibility to nematode parasitism in this species.
