Intestinal helminths are reported from four species of scincid lizards from southern Africa: Mabuya occidentalis, Mabuya spilogaster, Mabuya striata and Mabuya variegata. The helminth fauna consisted of one species of Cestoda, Oochoristica truncata and five species of Nematoda, Abbreviata paradoxa, Maxvachonia dimorpha, Parapharyngodon rotundatus, Spauligodon petersi and Thubunaea fitzsimonsi. All findings represent new host records. Ascarid larvae were also found. It appears that Mabuya is infected by generalist helminths that occur in other species of African lizards.
在来自非洲南部的四种石龙子蜥蜴中发现了肠道蠕虫,分别是西部麻蜥、斑纹麻蜥、条纹麻蜥和杂色麻蜥。蠕虫动物群包括一种绦虫,即截形卵圆绦虫,以及五种线虫,分别是奇异短体线虫、异形长咽线虫、圆头副咽线虫、彼得斯斯帕利戈线虫和菲茨西蒙斯图布纳线虫。所有这些发现均代表新的宿主记录。此外还发现了蛔虫幼虫。看起来麻蜥感染的是在其他非洲蜥蜴物种中也存在的广布性蠕虫。
