Correlation between the occurrence of mites (Demodex spp.) and nematodes in house mice (Mus musculus Linnaeus, 1758) in the Gdaæsk urban agglomeration

Co-infection of house mice (Mus musculus Linnaeus, 1758) with skin mites and helminths was studied. Intensity of their infection with skin mites (Demodex arvicolae musculi Oudemans, 1897 and D. flagellurus Bukva, 1985) was found to be proportional to their infection with the nematode Syphacia obvelata (Rudolphi, 1802).
