This larval stage uses a wide variety of small rodents, and occasionally birds and humans, as intermediate hosts. In the Yucatan, there are no reports of the presence of this cestode in animal populations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of <jats:italic>C. fasciolaris<\/jats:italic> in rodent populations from the Cuxtal ecological reserve, Yucatan, Mexico. Trapping of rodents was conducted from October 2009 to April 2010 in 40 households in Molas, in which Sherman traps were placed both inside and outside backyards. Rodents were dissected to inspect the liver for the presence of the worm. To determine risk factors associated with infection, univariate analysis was performed using sex, age, species, trapping site, and season as independent variables. Variables with a <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> value &lt;\u00a0 0.2 were analysed using a logistic regression model. In this study, 411 individuals of six rodent species were trapped; <jats:italic>Mus musculus<\/jats:italic> was the most abundant (78%), followed by <jats:italic>Rattus rattus<\/jats:italic> (13%) and the wild species <jats:italic>Peromyscus yucatanicus<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Ototylomys phyllotis,<\/jats:italic><jats:italic>Heteromys gaumeri<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Reithrodontomys gracilis<\/jats:italic> (9%). Only 7.5% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a031) of <jats:italic>M. musculus<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>R. rattus<\/jats:italic> were infected with <jats:italic>C. fasciolaris<\/jats:italic> (demonstrated by the presence of liver cysts) with a prevalence of 9.0% and 3.5%, respectively. Both adults and male mice were 4.33 and 3.46 (OR values) times more likely to have <jats:italic>C. fasciolaris<\/jats:italic> than juveniles and females respectively. We can conclude that in the Cuxtal Reserve, Yucatan, Mexico, the prevalence of <jats:italic>C. fasciolaris<\/jats:italic> is higher in <jats:italic>M. musculus,<\/jats:italic> and that adult males had a higher probability of infection. Wild species, mainly <jats:italic>P. yucatanicus<\/jats:italic>, were not found to be infected with the cestode, but its presence in the backyards of households could result in a potential risk of acquiring this infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022149x10000817","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,6]],"date-time":"2011-01-06T09:37:47Z","timestamp":1294306667000},"page":"458-461","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["The
