ABSTRACT

Abstract We investigated the parasites of five lizard species belonging to Phyllodactylidae (Phyllopezus pollicaris and Gymnodactylus geckoides) and Gekkonidae (Hemidactylus agrius, Lygodactylus klugei and Hemidactylus brasilianus) families in a semiarid region of Brazil. Six nematode species were identified: Parapharyngodon alvarengai and Spauligodon oxkutzcabiensis (Pharyngodonidae), Physaloptera lutzi (Physalopteridae), Skrjabinelazia intermedia (Seuratidae), Trichospirura sp. (Rhabdochonidae) and Piratuba sp. (Onchocercidae), and a cestode species, Oochoristica sp. (Linstowiidae). The most prevalent species were Spauligodon oxkutzcabiensis, which infected P. pollicaris (75%), and Parapharyngodon alvarengai, which infected G. geckoides (29%). South American lizards were identified as being new hosts for the Trichospirura genus (a usual parasite of mammals), and there were 16 new occurrences of parasite species in the five lizard species studied herein.


Resumo Nós investigamos os parasitas de cinco espécies de lagartos pertencentes às famílias Phyllodactylidae (Phyllopezus pollicaris e Gymnodactylus geckoides) e Gekkonidae (Hemidactylus agrius, Lygodactylus klugei e Hemidactylus brasilianus) em região semiárida do Brasil. Seis espécies de nematoides foram encontrados: Parapharyngodon alvarengai e Spauligodon oxkutzcabiensis (Pharyngodonidae), Physaloptera lutzi (Physalopteridae), Skrjabinelazia intermedia (Seuratidae), Trichospirura sp. (Rhabdochonidae), Piratuba sp. (Onchocercidae) e uma espécie de cestódeo, Oochoristica sp. (Linstowiidae). As espécies de maiores prevalências foram S. oxkutzcabiensis, a qual infectou P. pollicaris (75%) e P. alvarengai a qual infectou G. geckoides (29.%). Nós documentamos novo registro de hospedeiro para lagartos na América do Sul pertencente ao gênero Trichospirura, o qual é comum em mamíferos, e 16 novas ocorrências de espécies parasitas nas cinco espécies de lagartos aqui estudadas.
