Endoparasites of the Bridled Mabuya, Heremites vittatus (Olivier, 1804) (Squamata: Scincidae) from Türkiye
Ninety-five bridled mabuya, Heremites vittatus (37 males, 49 females, and 9 juveniles) collected throughout Türkiye were examined for helminths. One species of trematode, Plagiorchis elegans; 1 species of cestode, Mesocestoides sp.; and 5 species of nematode, Parapharyngodon sp., Skrjabinodon pigmentatus, Spauligodon aloisei, Spauligodon eremiasi, and Thubunaea sp. were found.
