Paranoplocephala longivaginata Chechulin & Gulyaev, 1998

P. longivaginata was described from Myodes rutilus and, secondarily, from Sciurus vulgaris L., in Buryatia and the neighbouring Amurskaya Oblast ( Chechulin and Gulyaev 1998). In addition to Buryatia and adjacent regions, it has been found from Myodes rutilus in north-eastern Siberia (Magadan region; Haukisalmi et al. 2007a). However, P. longivaginata does not occur in M. rutilus in north-western North America (unpublished BCP data).

P. longivaginata occurred at five of the seven study sites, but always at a low prevalence.
