Abstract
ABSTRACT: We examined 35 golden grass skinks Heremites auratus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Squamata: Scincidae), obtained from various locations in Turkey, for helminth parasites. We found 1 species of Cestoda, Mesocestoides sp., and 7 species of Nematoda: Parapharyngodon dogieli, Parapharyngodon lilfordi, Parapharyngodon psammodromi, Pharyngodon mamillatus, Spauligodon eremiasi, Spauligodon sp., and Thubunaea baylisi.
期刊介绍:
Comparative Parasitology (continuing the Journal of the Helminthological Society of Washington in its 67th volume) focuses on parasitological research of a comparative nature, emphasizing taxonomy, systematics, ecology, biogeography, evolution, faunal survey, and biological inventory within a morphological and/or molecular context. The scope of Comparative Parasitology extends to all parasitic faunas, including helminths, protistans and arthropods.
