Objectives  Rodents play an important role to spread zoonotic diseases through society. The current study was carried out to collect informative data on the intestinal helminthic infections of wild rodents in Taleqan County, Alborz Province, the center of Iran, emphasizing their zoonotic aspects.    Results  Sixty-two killed rodents by local farmers belonging to five species were collected, among which 24 were identified as  Mus musculus , 15 as  Meriones persicus , 12 as  Meriones libycus , 10 as  Apodemus witherbyi , and 1 as  Dryomys nitedula . Of them, 30 (48.4%) were infected with at least one helminth species. Rodents were infected with  Hymenolepis diminuta  (42%),  Syphacia obvelata  (21%),  Hymenolepis nana  (17.7%),  Heligmosomoides polygyrus  (9.6%),  Trichuris muris  (8%), and as well as a capillariid nematode that was isolated for the first time from  D. nitedula  in Iran. The findings of the present study revealed a significant intestinal helminthic infection of rodents in Taleqan County. Improving hygiene practices, and making a preventive attitude can be helpful to reduce the hazards of rodent-borne diseases in the area where humans, livestock, and synanthropic rodents are living close to each other.
