Rodents are reservoirs and hosts of several pathogens around the world, including zoonotic parasite species. This study aimed to determine the occurrence of zoonotic gastrointestinal helminths in rodents captured inside households in a rural community from southern Guatemala. Sixty-nine rodents were captured in 33% (49/148) of the surveyed households, including Rattus rattus, Rattus norvegicus, Mus musculus, and Sigmodon hispidus. Thirty-six percent (25/69) of these rodents (3 Rattus and 22 Mus musculus), from 45% (22/49) of the households, were parasitized with at least 1 gastrointestinal helminth species. Helminths from 6 species were identified: Hymenolepis diminuta, Moniliformis moniliformis, Heterakis spumosa, Nippostrongylus sp., Strongyloides sp., and Syphacia sp. Two zoonotic species were found in Rattus, H. diminuta in R. rattus (1/6), and M. moniliformis in R. norvegicus (1/1). Coinfection with other non-zoonotic helminth parasites, such as He. spumosa and Strongyloides sp., also was observed in the Rattus genus. Mus musculus had only non-zoonotic helminths: He. spumosa, Nippostrongylus sp., and Syphacia sp. being the most common, and He. spumosa (96%) followed by Nippostrongylus sp. (48%), with a higher presence in males than females, with a similar proportion in adult and young individuals. This is the first report of zoonotic and non-zoonotic helminths parasites in rodents from Guatemala.

危地马拉南部啮齿类动物群落的人畜共患胃肠蠕虫。

啮齿动物是世界上几种病原体（包括人畜共患寄生虫）的储存库和宿主。这项研究的目的是确定危地马拉南部一个农村社区的住户内捕获的啮齿动物中人畜共患的胃肠蠕虫的发生。在33％（49/148）的被调查家庭中捕获了69只啮齿动物，包括褐家鼠，褐家鼠，小家鼠和Sigmodon hispidus。这些啮齿动物中的百分之三十六（25/69）（3只鼠和22只小家鼠）来自45％（22/49）的家庭，它们被至少一种胃肠蠕虫寄生。鉴定了来自6种的蠕虫：Hymenolepis diminuta，Moniliformis moniliformis，Heterakis spumosa，Nippostrongylus sp。，Strongyloides sp。和Syphacia sp.。在Rattus，H. diminuta中的R. rattus（1/6）中发现了两种人畜共患物种。以及R. norvegicus（1/1）中的M. moniliformis。与其他非动物源性蠕虫寄生虫（例如He）共同感染。褐家鼠属中也观察到了spumosa和Strongyloides sp.。小家鼠只有非动物的蠕虫：他。spumosa，Nippostrongylus sp。和Syphacia sp.。是最常见的，他。spumosa（96％），其次是Nippostrongylus sp.。（48％），男性比女性高，在成年和年轻个体中比例相似。这是危地马拉啮齿动物中人畜共患和非人畜共患的蠕虫寄生虫的首次报道。是最常见的，他。spumosa（96％），其次是Nippostrongylus sp.。（48％），男性比女性高，在成年和年轻个体中比例相似。这是危地马拉啮齿动物中人畜共患和非人畜共患的蠕虫寄生虫的首次报道。是最常见的，他。spumosa（96％），其次是Nippostrongylus sp.。（48％），男性比女性高，在成年和年轻个体中比例相似。这是危地马拉啮齿动物中人畜共患和非人畜共患的蠕虫寄生虫的首次报道。
