  abstract = {{W}e studied patterns of variation in cestode communities of 3 abundant rodent species that live in sympatry in the {N}iayes of the {R}etba {L}ake, {W}estern {S}enegal. {W}e evaluated whether the host species have the same parasites and, within host species, whether the variability in parasite community is related to intrinsic (sex, age of the host individual) or extrinsic (habitat, season) factors. {A}rvicanthis niloticus was parasitized by 2 cestode species, namely {I}nermicapsifer madagascariensis and the highly dominant {R}aillietina trapezoides. henna baeri was the only cestode species found in {M}astomys erythroleucus, and there was no cestode in {M}. huberti. {P}revalence and abundance levels of cestodes were very high in {A}. niloticus, especially in adults. {S}easonal and habitat effects were found in both cestode communities of {M}. erythroleucus and {A}. niloticus. {L}ocal host specificity and abundance/prevalence levels suggested variations in the interaction between rodents and cestode intermediate host species among habitats and seasons.},
