Gastrointestinal helminths with direct life cycles and a single definitive host provide ideal systems to test these predictions. In this study, we first determined which helminths infect common voles (\n                    <jats:italic>Microtus arvalis<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) in NW Spain, where populations are cyclic.

Infections were highly aggregated in\n                    <jats:italic>Syphacia<\/jats:italic>\n                    sp. and parasite abundance peaked during the crash phase of the vole cycle.
