| helminths of anolis acutus (sauria: polychrotidae) from st. croix, u.s. virgin islands. | four hundred and fifteen anolis acutus from st. croix, u.s. virgin islands were examined for helminths. three nematodes, ascarops sp. (larvae), parapharyngodon cubensis, and spauligodon caymanensis, and 2 acanthocephalans, centrorhynchus sp. and oligacanthorhynchus sp. (cystacanths), were found. the highest prevalence (47%) and mean intensity (21.3) were recorded for s. caymanensis. anolis acutus is a new host record for each of these helminth species. | 1997 | 9194841 |
| helminths of six species of anolis lizards (polychrotidae) from hispaniola, west indies. | from hispaniola, an island in the west indies, 6 species of anoles, anolis cristatellus, anolis etheridgei, anolis eugenegrahami, anolis hendersoni, anolis monticola, and anolis olssoni were examined for helminths. helminths representing 2 species of trematodes, mesocoelium monas and urotrema scabridum; 1 species of cestode, oochoristica maccoyi; 11 species of nematodes, atractis scelopori, oswaldocruzia lenteixeirai, parapharyngodon cubensis, skrjabinoptera leiocephalorum, trichospirura teixeir ... | 1998 | 9920335 |
| helminth parasites of the mediterranean gecko, hemidactylus turcicus (sauria: gekkonidae), from texas, united states with a summary of helminths of this host. | one hundred-thirty six mediterranean geckos, hemidactylus turcicus, were collected between december 1986 and march 2016 in hardin (n = 7), harris (n = 57), and tom green (n = 72) counties, texas, usa., and examined for helminth parasites. fifty-two h. turcicus (38%) were infected with at least one helminth species. found were a trematode, mesocoelium meggitti, three cestodes, mesocestoides sp. (tetrathyridia), oochoristica ameivae and oochoristica scelopori, and four nematodes, cosmocercoides va ... | 2016 | 27447223 |
| host specificity shapes population structure of pinworm parasites in caribbean reptiles. | host specificity is one of the potential factors affecting parasite diversification because gene flow may be facilitated or constrained by the number of host species that a parasite can exploit. we test this hypothesis using a costructure approach, comparing two sympatric pinworm parasites that differ in host specificity - parapharyngodon cubensis and spauligodon anolis - on the puerto rican bank and st. croix in the caribbean. spauligodon anolis specializes on anolis lizards, whereas p. cubensi ... | 2013 | 23848187 |
