Abstract
As part of a zoogeographical research project, an analysis was made of the parasitic nematode fauna associated with the Japanese murid species of the genera Clethrionomys, Eothenomys, Microtus and Apodemus. The analysis was carried out utilizing published papers, mainly ASAKAWA (1995), and tabulating the nematode species recorded in Japan. A total of 36 nematode species (16 families and 24 genera) were recorded from the host genera. The general feature of the life cycle of the nematode families or genera, and the geographical occurrence of each species, especially the species belonging to the families Heligmosomidae, Heligmonellidae and Oxyuridae, were presented.
