Abstract

Thirty-eight Balkan green lizards, Lacerta trilineata, from Turkey were examined for helminths. Three species of Digenea, Plagiorchis elegans, Pleurogenoides medians, Brachylaemus sp. (metacercaria); 2 species of Cestoda, Oochoristica tuberculata and Mesocestoides sp. (tetrathyridium); and 6 species of Nematoda, Abbreviata abbreviata, Ascarops strongylina (larva in cysts), Falcaustra armenica, Oswaldocruzia filiformis, Skrjabinelazia hoffmanni, Skrjabinodon medinae, were found. Lacerta trilineata represents a new host record for each of the parasite species; Plagiorchis elegans, Brachylaemus sp., Oochoristica tuberculata, Mesocestoides sp., Abbreviata abbreviata, Ascarops strongylina (larva), Falcaustra armenica Skrjabinelazia hoffmanni, and Skrjabinodon medinae are reported from Turkey for the first time.

Özet

38 iri yeşil kertenkele Bursa’ dan (Türkiye) (Lacerta trilineata) helmintleri incelenmek üzere toplanmıştır. Bulunan türlerin 3’ü Digenea; Plagiorchis elegans, Pleurogenoides medians, Brachylaemus sp. (metacercaria), 2’si Cestoda; Oochoristica tuberculata, Mesocestoides sp. (tetrathyridium), 6’sı Nematoda; Abbreviata abbreviata, Ascarops strongylina (kist içinde larva), Falcaustra armenica, Oswaldocruzia fi liformis, Skrjabinelazia hoff manni, Skrjabinodon medinae grubuna aittir. Lacerta trilineata, her bir parazit türü için yeni konak kaydı olup, bu parazitler iri yeşil kertenkeleden ilk kez rapor edilmiştir. Plagiorchis elegans, Brachylaemus sp., Mesocestoides sp., Abbreviata abbreviata, Ascarops strongylina (larva), Falcaustra armenica, Skrjabinelazia hoff manni, Skrjabinodon medinae türleri Türkiye için yeni kayıttır.
