Five species of Sorex shrews (S. caecutiens, S. isodon, S. daphaenodon, S. gracillimus and S. minutissimus) were studied for helminths in North-East Asia. 11 cestode species were described. For 5 of them S. isodon and S. gracillimus were recorded as new hosts. Geographical distribution and community structure of found cestodes are briefly analyzed. A role of different shrew species in the helminth circulation is also discussed.
