Abstract

Populations of Clethrionomys gapperi and of Peromyscus maniculatus, in which up to 50% of individuals were infected with Capillaria hepatica, were found on the south shore of Lake Manitoba, in the Whiteshell area, and in the region of Lake of the Woods. The potential danger of these foci as sources of subclinical human infections with Capillaria hepatica is pointed out.
