Studies have been reported on the intestinal parasites of man and other animals (cats, dogs, equines, monkeys, opossums and capybaras) in Panama. No account is available for intestinal helminths of rats. The present communication records our findings on 400 rats captured in Panama City and suburbs. These rats were obtained through the Gorgas Board of Health Laboratory, Canal Zone. If we consider the type of habitation of our poor sections of Panama City, the prevailing crowded conditions, and the enormous rat population infesting those sections, the need of this study is quite apparent.
