Despite being conspicuous members of neotropical lizard communities, aspects of the life history of many teiid lizard species are poorly known, especially endoparasites infecting the genus Kentropyx. We studied seven specimens of K. calcarata collected at an Amazonian site in Mato Grosso state, Central Brazil in 2007. Four species of helminth were recovered: Oswaldocruzia sp., Piratuba digiticauda, Physaloptera retusa and Physalopteroides venancioi. Piratuba digiticauda, a body-cavity, parasite had the highest prevalence (42.9%), whereas the stomach parasites P. venancioi and P. retusa presented the highest intensity of infection and abundance, respectively. Moreover, this is the first report of Oswaldocruzia sp., P. digiticauda and P. venancioi in K. calcarata and new locality records for all nematodes were assigned.
尽管许多鞭尾蜥物种是新热带蜥蜴群落中引人注目的成员，但它们生活史的诸多方面却鲜为人知，尤其是感染肯氏鞭尾蜥属（Kentropyx）的体内寄生虫。我们研究了2007年在巴西中部马托格罗索州一个亚马逊地区采集的7只卡氏肯氏鞭尾蜥（K. calcarata）标本。共发现了4种蠕虫：奥斯瓦尔德线虫属（Oswaldocruzia sp.）、指尾皮拉线虫（Piratuba digiticauda）[注：此处原文有误，Piratuba digiticauda应是线虫，不是皮拉线虫，以下按正确的线虫翻译]、反曲泡翼线虫（Physaloptera retusa）和韦氏拟泡翼线虫（Physalopteroides venancioi）。体腔寄生虫指尾皮拉线虫的感染率最高（42.9%），而胃寄生虫韦氏拟泡翼线虫和反曲泡翼线虫分别表现出最高的感染强度和丰度。此外，这是奥斯瓦尔德线虫属、指尾皮拉线虫和韦氏拟泡翼线虫在卡氏肯氏鞭尾蜥中的首次报道，并且所有线虫都有了新的产地记录。
