Abstract: On the basis of parasitological investigation of 3097 field mice the frequency of Hydatigera taeniaeformis infection was found to be 7.2 %. Seasonal studies revealed a peak of infection in the winter and spring, while a drop in infection rate was noted during the summer. In animals living in lucerne fields, a maximal rate of infection is reached already in the autumn months, while it only takes place during next spring in those living in wheat fields. The frequency of strobilocercosis shows correlation with the age distribution of the investigated population. Taking the time, necessary for the development of cysts and the infection rate of mice into consideration, certain demographical conclusions can be reached.
