A survey of the gastrointestinal helminth communities of a population of Chalcides sexlineatus Steindachner, a small skink endemic to Gran Canaria island (Canary Archipelago, Spain), was conducted to determine the prevalence, abundance and species diversity of intestinal parasites in these reptiles. Only three parasite species were found, one cestode, Oochoristica agamae Baylis, 1919 and two nematodes, Parapharyngodon micipsae (Seurat, 1917) and Pharyngodonidae gen. sp. Helminth infracommunities of C. sexlineatus showed low values of abundance and species richness and diversity, being more similar to the helminth community of Tarentola boettgeri boettgeri (Steindachner) rather than those of Gallotia stehlini (Schenkel), both syntopic with the sampled host.
对加那利群岛(西班牙)特有的小型石龙子——六线沙蜥(Chalcides sexlineatus Steindachner)种群的胃肠道蠕虫群落进行了调查,以确定这些爬行动物肠道寄生虫的患病率、丰度和物种多样性。仅发现了三种寄生虫,一种绦虫,即1919年发现的阿加马奥乔绦虫(Oochoristica agamae Baylis),以及两种线虫,即1917年发现的米氏副咽线虫(Parapharyngodon micipsae)和咽线虫科属种。六线沙蜥的蠕虫群落显示出较低的丰度、物种丰富度和多样性值,与博氏沙虎(Tarentola boettgeri boettgeri (Steindachner))的蠕虫群落更为相似,而非与同域分布的斯氏岛蜥(Gallotia stehlini (Schenkel))的蠕虫群落相似。
