“…Illegal harvest of chelonians was reported to be particularly common along the Purus River (Kemenes and Pezzuti, 2007 Group, 1996;Bonin et al, 2006), and reported the species from eastern Ecuador. P. unifilis was observed in surveys conducted along the Tiputini river in the Orellana Province (eastern Ecuador) between (Cisneros-Heredia, 2006, and also along the Aguarico river basin (eastern Ecuador) (Townsend et al, 2005). It was not observed during a total of 1117 effort-hours of sampling during 1986-2007 at the Jatun Sacha reserve in eastern Ecuador (Vigle, 2008).…”

Interpretation and implementation of the ConventionCompliance and enforcement Review of Significant Trade in specimens of Appendix-II species [Resolution Conf. 12.8 (Rev. CoP13)] SPECIES SELECTED FOLLOWING COP151. This document has been prepared by the Secretariat. 3. At its 26th meeting (AC26, Geneva, 2012), the Committee reviewed the available information on these taxa in accordance with paragraph f) of Resolution Conf. 12.8 (Rev. CoP13). In instances where the Committee was satisfied that Article IV, paragraph 2 (a), 3 or 6 (a), was correctly implemented, it eliminated the species from the review with respect to the range State concerned, and these range States were notified accordingly by the Secretariat (see document AC26 Doc.12.3 and the summary record of AC26). At its 25th meeting (AC25,Geneva4. At AC26, the Committee also agreed that prior to the compilation of information called for in paragraph g), range States that had been kept in the process due to a lack of response but where no commercial trade had been recorded over the most recent 10 years, would be removed from the process in consultation with the Animals Committee. The taxa and range States that were thus retained in the review are shown in the table below. Taxa selected following CoP15 and retained in the review after AC26 Taxon selected Range StateMacaca fascicularis Cambodia; India, Indonesia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Mauritius, Palau, Philippines, Viet Nam Psittacus erithacusBenin, Central African Republic, Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, Uganda Chamaeleo gracilisBenin, Cameroon, Ghana, Guinea, Togo, Uganda Chamaeleo senegalensisBenin, Ghana, Guinea, Mali, Senegal, Sierra Leone Trioceros melleri Mozambique Trioceros quadricornisCameroon, Nigeria Trachyphyllia geoffroyi Singapore, Solomon Islands 5. In accordance with paragraph g) of the Resolution, the Secretariat proceeded with the compilation of information regarding the species mentioned in the table above. The UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC) was engaged to compile information about the biology and management of and trade in these species, and to provide a preliminary categorization of the species in compliance with paragraphs h) and i). The Secretariat transmitted the resulting reports from UNEP-WCMC to relevant range States on 13 and 19 December 2013, which had 60 days to submit comments in accordance with paragraph j). Kinyongia fischeri United Republic of Tanzania Kinyongia tavetana United Republic of Tanzania Ptyas mucosus6. The species reports of UNEP-WCMC present conclusions about the effects of international trade on the selected species, the basis on which such conclusions are made, and problems with the implementation of Article IV of the Convention. They provide preliminary categorizations of each species into one of the three categories outlined in paragraph i) of Resolution Conf. 12.8 (Rev. CoP13), namely: i) 'species of urgent concern' shall include species for which the available information indicates that the provisions of Article IV, paragraph 2 ...

“…P. expansa is an explicit case of the fragility of the turtle populations in the Amazonian region. The extreme and uncontrolled overexploitation of this giant river turtle has reduced its numbers to the point that its long-term survivorship is uncertain [ 36 ]. Habitat alteration, pollution, human exploitation, diseases and introduced species are directly implied in the decline of several turtles species around the world [ 37 ].…”

Background: Throughout Brazil a large number of people seek out reptiles for their meat, leather, ornamental value and supposed medicinal importance. However, there is a dearth of information on the use of reptiles in folk medicine. In North Brazil, the freshwater turtle, Podocnemis expansa, is one of the most frequently used species in traditional medicines. Many products derived from P. expansa are utilized in rural areas and also commercialized in outdoor markets as a cure or treatment for different diseases. Here we document the use and commercialization of P. expansa for medicinal purposes in the state of Pará, Northern Brazil.

“…This could explain its great variety of helminths, principally those with direct life cycles. The yellow-spotted Amazon River turtle, P. unifilis is also a species that lives in a wide variety of habitats, such as rivers and lakes (Cisneros-Heredia, 2006). However, its helminth parasites have been poorly studied (Salizar & Sánchez, 2004;Sánchez et al, 2006;Tantaleán et al, 2011;Tantaleán & Forlong, 2013).…”

A checklist of helminths associated with reptiles (Tetrapoda: Reptilia) from Peru

An annotated checklist of the helminth parasites associated with reptiles from Peru is provided, as the result of a compilation of parasitological papers published between 1963 and January 2022 and records of species deposited in national and international collections. The list provides data on hosts, developmental stage, sites of infection, geographical distribution in Peruvian territory, code of material deposited in helminthological collections, references and taxonomic notes. The database includes records of 106 different species of helminth parasites (82 nominal species and 24 taxa identified at the generic level), the majority in the adult stage. These helminth parasites come from 18 of the 25 official Peruvian regions. Nematodes have the highest richness in number of species (79 species), followed by trematodes (17 species) and cestodes (nine species). The acanthocephalans are represented by only one species. The parasites with the highest number of records were Physaloptera retusa Rudolphi, 1819 (11 hosts), Physalopteroides venancioi (Lent, Freitas & Proença, 1946) (nine hosts), Strongyluris oscari Travassos, 1923 (seven hosts), and Parapharyngodon scleratus Travassos, 1923 (five hosts), all of which are nematodes. The 106 taxa of helminth parasites have been reported infecting 55 species of reptiles in Peru, distributed in 34 genera and 14 families. The reptile species harbouring the highest number of helminth parasites are the yellow-footed tortoise Chelonoidis denticulatus (Linnaeus) with 18 species (three trematodes and 15 nematodes), followed by the Peru desert tegu Dicrodon guttulatum Duméril & Bibron (Teiidae) with 11 species (three cestodes and eight nematodes) and the yellow-spotted Amazon River turtle Podocnemis unifilis Troschel (Podocnemididae) with 10 species (five trematodes and five nematodes). Of the 524 species of reptiles reported in Peru, only 55 (>10%) are reported as hosts of helminths representing a small proportion considering the great variety of reptile hosts that inhabit the various tropical and subtropical geographical areas of Peru.
