Endoparasites associated with the small bromelicolous lizard Bogertia lutzae, a poorly studied phyllodactylid inhabitant of north-eastern Brazil, were studied. Fifty-seven specimens collected from the Atlantic Forest of Alagoas state were dissected. Only one species of parasite, the nematode Spauligodon oxkutzcabiensis, was found, with a prevalence of 22.8%. The intensity of infection was 2.62 +/- 1.19, and neither the prevalence nor mean intensity differed between the sexes. There was no correlation between lizard body size and intensity of infection. An aggregated pattern of distribution (D = 0.813) of S. oxkutzcabiensis was found in this lizard host population. Bogertia lutzae represents a new host recorded for S. oxkutzcabiensis, a parasite reported for the first time for Brazil.
对与小型凤梨科蜥蜴博氏叶趾虎（Bogertia lutzae）相关的内寄生虫进行了研究，博氏叶趾虎是巴西东北部一种研究较少的叶趾虎科动物。解剖了从阿拉戈斯州大西洋森林收集的57个标本。仅发现一种寄生虫，即线虫奥氏斯保尔线虫（Spauligodon oxkutzcabiensis），感染率为22.8%。感染强度为2.62±1.19，且两性之间的感染率和平均感染强度均无差异。蜥蜴的体型与感染强度之间没有相关性。在该蜥蜴宿主种群中发现了奥氏斯保尔线虫的聚集分布模式（D = 0.813）。博氏叶趾虎是奥氏斯保尔线虫记录的新宿主，该寄生虫在巴西首次报道。
