Description of helminthic fauna of Trachemys scripta (Thunberg in Schoepf, 1792) in a protected area in Northern Italy: evidence of co-introduction of non-native helminth species
are recommended to shed light on patterns of parasite exchange among the two emydid species. Additionally, a wider survey across the national territory is advised to further explore the helminth composition hosted by this invasive species.
