Abstract
We present data on helminths harboured by Pelasgian Rock Lizard Anatololacerta pelasgiana (Mertens, 1959) from several localities in Muğla province, Türkiye. Five helminth species (Nematoda) were found in A. pelesgiana: Oswaldocruzia filiformis, Physalopteroides sp., Thubunae sp., Spauligodon cabrerae and Spauligodon aloisei. Overall helminth prevalences were not relatively high for this species [27/44 (61.3 %)]; helminth assemblages from host species were depauperate and dominated by generalist helminths with direct life cycles.
期刊介绍:
Helminthologia (HELMIN), published continuously since 1959, is the only journal in Europe that encompasses the individual and collaborative efforts of scientists working on a different topics of human, veterinary and plant helminthology. The journal responsibility is to enrich the theoretical and practical knowledge in very specific areas and thus contribute to the advancements in human and veterinary medicine and agronomy. Taking the advantage of comprehensive and multidisciplinary approaches journal still maintains its original spirit and is principal source of fresh scientific information regarding helminths, endoparasites and plant parasites. Addressing the most up-to date topics journal gained rightful and exceptional place next to the other high-quality scientific journals publishing in its field.
