biology_ecology
Host range: H. gudauricus infests hosts belonging to varied vole genera (Alticola, Chionomys, Clethrionomys, Microtus); sometimes is collected from shrews (Razumova 1957; Senotrusova 1987; Mašán & Fend’a 2010). It seems that no species can be considered as the chief host of this generalist parasite.
distribution
Distribution: Northern and Central Europe, Caucasus, Kazakhstan, Western and Eastern Siberia (Senotrusova, 1987; Nikulina 2004; Huhta 2016); mostly in high mountain regions (Senotrusova 1987). Uchikawa (1974) recorded this species from Japan (as H. tatricus).
