  abstract = {{P}revious field-based studies have evidenced patterns in gastrointestinal helminth ({GIH}) assemblages of rodent communities that are consistent with "enemy release" and "spill-back" hypotheses, suggesting a role of parasites in the ongoing invasion success of the exotic house mouse ({M}us musculus domesticus) in {S}enegal ({W}est {A}frica). {H}owever, these findings came from a single invasion route, thus preventing to ascertain that they did not result from stochastic and/or selective processes that could differ across invasion pathways. {I}n the present study, we investigated the distribution of rodent communities and their {GIH} assemblages in three distinct zones of {N}orthern {S}enegal, which corresponded to independent house mouse invasion fronts. {O}ur findings first showed an unexpectedly rapid spread of the house mouse, which reached even remote areas where native species would have been expected to dominate the rodent communities. {T}hey also strengthened previous insights suggesting a role of helminths in the invasion success of the house mouse, such as: (i) low infestation rates of invading mice by the exotic nematode {A}spiculuris tetraptera at invasion fronts-except in a single zone where the establishment of the house mouse could be older than initially thought, which was consistent with the "enemy release" hypothesis; and (ii) higher infection rates by the local cestode {M}athevotaenia symmetrica in native rodents with long co-existence history with invasive mice, bringing support to the "spill-back" hypothesis. {T}herefore, "enemy release" and "spill-back" mechanisms should be seriously considered when explaining the invasion success of the house mouse-provided further experimental works demonstrate that involved {GIH}s affect rodent fitness or exert selective pressures. {N}ext steps should also include evolutionary, immunological, and behavioral perspectives to fully capture the complexity, causes and consequences of {GIH} variations along these invasion routes.},
