Resumen:
In Argentina, the levels of poverty and inequality have grown noticeable, originating multiples shantytowns consolidated mostly in the periphery of the bigger cities. This scenario generates an ideal environment for the presence of urban rodents, increasing the risk of transmission of zoonotic parasites. The main purpose of the study was to identify the helmintological fauna of the commensal rodents Mus musculus, Rattus norvegicus and Rattus rattus, with the final goal of finding Strobilocercus fasciolaris (Cestoda: Cyclophyllidea), discussing the possible reasons of the maintenance of the cycle in the areas involucrated. For that, 136 individuals of rodents were examined. S. fasciolaris was observed in all the populations of rodents studied, and the morphometric description known was complemented. Moreover, R. rattus and M. musculus constitute new records in Argentina. According the host and geographical distribution the values of prevalence, mean abundance and mean intensity were provided. Significant differencesof prevalence between host species R. norvegicus vs. M. musculus, and among seasons were observed. In this paper, the potential risk of zoonotic transmission of S. fasciolaris in the areas involved is suggested.
