Abstract

ABSTRACT Parasites in wildlife tend to be poorly studied in spite of the ecological roles they play, and even basic information such as the geographic distribution of the parasites and the hosts they infect or infest are not well known. For parasites that live within the host, part of the reason for this lack of information is that the hosts must be killed and dissected to determine which endoparasites they harbour, which has legal and/or ethical implications and limitations. These obstacles can be overcome by collecting and examining potential hosts that are found dead on roads or that are sacrificed as part of other non-related studies. In this study, our objective was to expand on our understanding of the gastrointestinal parasites of some common reptiles from an area in the vicinity of a study site in the Mid North region of South Australia by making use of snakes and large lizards that were found dead on roads or that were humanely killed for another study. Our study provides new locality and/or host species records for some parasite species.

南澳大利亚中北部地区五种爬行动物胃肠道蠕虫的新寄主和地方记录
尽管野生动物中的寄生虫发挥着重要的生态作用,但对它们的研究却很少,甚至连寄生虫及其感染或侵害的宿主的地理分布等基本信息也不清楚。对于生活在宿主体内的寄生虫,缺乏信息的部分原因是,必须杀死和解剖宿主,以确定它们所携带的内寄生虫,这有法律和/或伦理方面的影响和限制。这些障碍可以通过收集和检查在道路上发现的死亡或作为其他非相关研究的一部分而牺牲的潜在宿主来克服。在这项研究中,我们的目标是扩大我们对一些常见爬行动物胃肠道寄生虫的了解,这些爬行动物来自南澳大利亚中北部地区的一个研究地点附近的一个地区,利用在道路上发现的死亡的蛇和大型蜥蜴,或者是为了另一项研究而被人道地杀死的蛇和大型蜥蜴。我们的研究为某些寄生虫提供了新的地点和/或寄主物种记录。

There is a particular focus on natural history topics such as: botany, zoology, geology, geomorphology, palaeontology, meteorology, geophysics, biophysics, soil science and environmental science, and environmental health. However, the journal is not restricted to these fields, with papers concerning epidemiology, ethnology, anthropology, linguistics, and the history of science and exploration also welcomed. Submissions are welcome from all authors, and membership of the Royal Society of South Australia is not required. The following types of manuscripts are welcome: Reviews, Original Research Papers, History of Science and Exploration, Brief Communications, Obituaries.
