“…A total parasite number of this species was one. Acccording to the literature, this is the third report of metacercaria of Brachylaima from Turkey; Other reported hosts: Lacerta trilineata (Yıldırımhan et al, 2011) and Chalcides ocellatus (Incedogan et al, 2014). P. laevis represents a new host record for the genus Brachylaima.…”

SummaryIn the years 2010 and 2014, fi fty-four samples of Phoenicolacerta laevis from eight localities in Adana (n=6) and Hatay (n=48) were collected and examined for helminth parasites. New host and locality records were recorded. As a results of present study, three species of Digenea, Sonsinotrema tacapense, Prosthodendrium chilostomum, Brachylaima sp. (metacercaria); two species of Cestoda, Oochoristica tuberculata and Mesocestoides sp. and four species of Nematoda, Skrjabinodon medinae, Spauligodon sp., Thubunaea sp. and a larva of the Ascaridiidae Ascarididae gen. sp. were reported for lizard samples. We document new host records for all of helminth species reported here. Sonsionotrema tacapense (Digenea), and Thubunaea sp. (Nematoda) are recorded for the fi rst time from Turkey. There are, to our knowledge, no reports of helminths for P. laevis in Turkey and also from its range.

“…In our study, this species was observed only one host (4,76 %). This species was reported from Paralaudakia caucasica (Yıldırımhan et al 2006), Lacerta trilineata (Yıldırımhan et al, 2011) and Chalcides ocellatus (Incedogan et al, 2014) from several localities in Turkey. There are currently 47 nominal species of Spauligodon that occur in lizards assigned to the Agamidae, Chamaeleonidae, Gekkonidae, Lacertidae, Opluridae, Phrynosomatidae, Polychroticae, Scincidae, Teiidae and Tropiduridae.…”

“…It is not known from modifi ed habitats (Baran & Atatür, 1998;Clark & Clark, 1973;Anderson, 1999). To our knowledge, only 14 (20 %) of the 69 lizards reported to occur in Turkey (Uetz, 2012) have been examined for helminths: Danford's Lizard, Anatololacerta danfordi (Gürelli et al, 2007); Slow Worm, Anguis fragilis (Schad et al, 1960) Turkish Worm Lizard, Blanus strauchi (Yıldırımhan et al, 2009); Turkish Gecko, Hemidactylus turcicus (Tinar, 1982), Balkan Emerald Lizard, Lacerta trilineata (Yıldırımhan et al, 2011); European Green Lizard, Lacerta viridis (Schad et al, 1960); Caucasian Agama, Paralaudakia caucasia (Yıldırımhan et al,2006); Roughtail Rock Aga ma, Stellagama stellio (Yıldırımhan et al, 2006); Dwarf Lizard, Parvilacerta parva (Saygı & Olgun, 1993); Crimean Wall Lizard, Podarcis tauricus (Schad et al, 1960); Pleske's Racerunner-Transcaucasian Racerunner, Eremias pleskei, Strauch's Racerunner, Eremias strauchi, Suphan Racerunner, Eremias suphani (Düsen et al, 2013); Ocellated Skink Chalcides ocellatus (Incedogan et al, 2014).

SummaryA total of thirty-one Anatolian Lizard, Apathya cappacocica, samples from several provinces of Eastern and South-Eastern Turkey were examined for helminths. Two species of Nematoda, including Spauligodon atlanticus, Skrjabinodon medinae; two species of Cestoda, including Mesocestoides sp. tetrahydia and Oochoristica tuberculata and one species of Acanthocephala, Centrorhynchus sp. were found. This is the fi rst helminth record of A. cappodocica from Turkey. A. cappadocica represents a new host record for each of the parasite species. S. atlanticus is reported from Turkey for the fi rst time.

SummaryPopulation of Iranolacerta brandtii lizard including 56 (21♀, 34♂, 1 juvenile) samples were exa mined for helminths. 17 of them were found to harbour one or more helminth parasites, while 39 didn't harbor any. Two helminth species were determined. These belong to Phylum: Nematoda, Spauligodon aloisei Casanova, Milazzo, Ribas & Cagnin, 2003 and Skrjabinodon medinae. García-Calvente, 1948. This study represents new host and locality records in both host lizard and the helminth species. Sp. aloisei is recorded for the fi rst time; Sk. medinae is the third report from Turkey nevertheless Sk. medinae is a new host record for I. brandtii.
