We report helminthic infections in the liver and intestine of Rattus norvegicus captured in Chunchon, Korea from April to October 1994. Out of 43 examined rats, eggs of Capillaria hepatica were found in 11, Hymenolepis diminuta in 14 and Taenia taeniaeformis metacestodes in 28. Those rats can be cources of zoonotic infections in the curveyed area.
