Abstract

The order Rodentia is the most widely existing group on Earth and largest group of small mammals, consist of one fourth the total mammalian species of Pakistan. House mouse, Mus musculus is commensal with human, omnivore and scavenger in nature. It is the definitive as well as intermediate host for trematode parasites. During current study, a total number of 32 mice were dissected for the presence of helminthic infection, resulted 62.5% of helminth infection with 12.5% prevalence of the trematodes. In present work, the most prevalent trematode species recovered was Artyfechinostomum sufrartyfex Lane, 1915 (Echinostomatidae) and reported for the first time from House mouse in Sindh region. Previously this species was reported from human being in Assam, India; also in rats, pigs, cat and dogs but first time from a House mouse. There is no record of this zoonotic species in Pakistan; therefore, this makes it as new locality and new host record.
