I studied seasonal changes in length and wet mass of the digestive tract and area of the mucosal surface of the small intestine in wild adult striped field mice (Apodemus agrarius). The length and mass of the gut varied with season in males but not females. The mucosal surface area of the small intestine was highly correlated with seasonal variations in the size of the alimentary tract. Changes in the surface area of the mucosa depended on changes in both villus size and the number of villi per unit area. The area of the intestinal mucosa varied during the year in both females and males, but unexpectedly, the mucosal surface area in females was significantly larger than in males only in autumn. Because gut size decreased toward late autumn, I suggest that late autumn was not a stressful period (i.e., because of low temperature or poor-quality food) for wild field mice. The decrease in gut parameters may have been an effect of declining metabolic requirements and completion of reproduction in late autumn.

Adult ascarid worms from the field mice, Apodemus agrarius, were observed with a light and scanning electron microscope, and molecularly analized with 18S rRNA gene. In the scanning electron microscope, 3 prominent labia were present in the anterior end of male and female worms, but the interlabia and gubernaculum were absent. Scanning electron micrographs showed cervical alae as vestigial organs that looked like a slightly uplifted superficial sewing stitch. Total 6 pairs of post-cloacal papillae were observed on the tail of the male worms. The tail of female worms was blunt and conical shape with a spine-like structure, mucron. The eggs were sub-globular, coated with the albuminous layer and 73 by 82 μm in average size. The superficial pits of T. apodemi egg (mean 8.6×6.7 μm) are obviously bigger than those of Toxocara spp. The partial sequence of 18S rRNA showed the sequence homology of Toxocara canis (99.6%), Toxocara cati (99.4%), Toxascaris leonina (99.4%), and Toxocara vitulorum (99.2%). Conclusively, it was confirmed that ascarid nematodes, Toxocara apodemi, recovered from striped field mice in Korea are taxonomically conspecific relationship with genus Toxocara and genetic divergence from other Toxocara species.
