Résumé :	Five areas populated by Apodemus sylvaticus in South of Italy have been analyzed. In total, fourteen species of intestinal helminths belonging to trematodes (Corrigia vitta), cestodes (Taenia taeniaeformis larvae, Gallegoides arfaai, Hymenolepis sp. and Rodentolepis straminea), and nematodes (Trichuris muris, Aonchotheca muris-sylvatici, A. sp., Mastophorus muris, Rictularia proni, Heligmosomoides polygyrus, Syphacia stroma, S. frederici and Aspiculuris tetraptera) were found. Mean intensities of intestinal helminths were higher in adults and males. The number of parasite species found in Calabria was lower compared to helminth communities of the northern part of the European peninsulas and of other continental areas. The specific richness was similar to that observed in vertebrate taxa: in a peninsula, the number of species decreases due to habitat barriers that progressively reduce the possibility of colonization.
