Abstract
Syphacia muris worm burdens were evaluated in the rat Rattus norvegicus of the strains Wistar (outbred), Low/M and AM/2/Torr (inbred), maintained conv entionally in institutional animal houses in Brazil. Morphometrics and illu stration data for S. muris recovered from Brazilian laboratory rats are pro vided for the first time since its proposition in 1935.
