Abstract
⺠Theory predicts that habitat fragmentation should reduce the risk of being parasitized. ⺠Ecto-parasites on field voles within a fragmented agro-ecosystem were collected. ⺠The probability of being infested with ecto-parasites decreased with host abundance. ⺠This suggests the presence of a type of dilution effect.
