Helminth fauna of Anatololacerta pelasgiana (Mertens, 1959) (Sauria: Lacertidae) from several localities of south-west part of Türkiye

We present data on helminths harboured by Pelasgian Rock Lizard Anatololacerta pelasgiana (Mertens, 1959) from several localities in Muğla province, Türkiye. Five helminth species (Nematoda) were found in A. pelesgiana: Oswaldocruzia filiformis, Physalopteroides sp., Thubunae sp., Spauligodon cabrerae and Spauligodon aloisei. Overall helminth prevalences were not relatively high for this species [27/44 (61.3 %)]; helminth assemblages from host species were depauperate and dominated by generalist helminths with direct life cycles.
