H. isabellinus was found on many species of voles (of different genera), mice, shrews, pikas, rats, ground squirrels etc. (Herrin 1970; Yudin et al. 1976; Senotrusova 1987; Goncharova et al. 1991; Whitaker et al. 2007; Korallo 2009; Krasnov et al. 2010; Mašán & Fend’a 2010). It was found also in birds’ nests (Mašán & Fend’a 2010).
