摘要
Twenty-four scincid lizards (spotted forest skink, Sphenomorphus scotophilus) from Peninsular Malaysia were examined for gastrointestinal helminths. Six species of Nematoda, mature individuals of Bakeria schadi, Meteterakis singaporensis, Parapharyngodon maplestoni, Physalopteroides grismeri, and Spinicauda sp., and larvae of Acuariidae gen. sp. were found. Bake ria schadi had the largest number of individuals (38) and the highest prevalence (48%). Larvae of Acuariidae had the greatest mean intensity (6.5 +/- 6.4 SD). All represent new host records for S. scotopilus. Our findings indicate that Sphenomorphus scotophilus is parasitized by generalist helminths that also infect other lizards.
