Abstract: Results of a helminthological survey of 1026 Microtus arvalis collected from Czechoslovakia and Hungary are presented and compared to data of similar nature available from European countries. The geohelminth nematode species represent the majority of the common vole helminths. From the geohelminth species those are of more importance, whose intermediate hosts are mites living in the nest or on the body surface of the common vole. Dominant species: those of the genus Syphacia and Heligmosomum. Influent species: Heligmosomoides polygyrus, Trichocephalus muris and Aprostatandrya macrocephala. The accessory species occur in those biotops, where the adequate host of the helminth lives together with Microtus arvalis.
