Sažetak
The aim of this study was to determine histopahtological changes in the stomachs of wild rodents as well as the possible presence of Helicobacter species. Stomach samples of twenty two wild rodents of different species, captured in different regions of Croatia were examined. In all the samples examined inflammatory changes were observed, as well as bacterial and parasitic organisms. In one sample, those organisms were identified as the Helicobacter species since were positive when stained by the Warthin-Starry method. This is the first finding of Helicobacter species in wild rodents in Croatia.
