Helminths and pentastomids were examined in exotic Hemidactylus mabouia and native Phyllopezus pollicaris lizards, living synanthropically in an urban area in the municipality of Crato, Ceará state, northeastern Brazil. A total of 194 lizards were collected, being 76 specimens of H. mabouia e 118 specimens of P. pollicaris. Six parasite species were found infecting H. mabouia: the cestode Oochoristica sp., the nematodes Parapharyngodon sceleratus, Physaloptera retusa, Physalopteroides venancioi, and Spauligodon oxkutzcabiensis and the pentastomid Raillietiella mottae; while four parasite species were found associated with P. pollicaris: Oochoristica sp., P. sceleratus, P. retusa, and S. oxkutzcabiensis. Three new host records were reported: P. retusa infecting H. mabouia and P. retusa and Oochoristica sp. infecting P. pollicaris. About 75% of the parasites species found were shared by both lizards. Moreover, H. mabouia showed greater diversity than P. pollicaris (6 versus 4 species), while P. pollicaris had higher intensity of infection than H. mabouia (1536 versus 121 specimens).
在巴西东北部塞阿拉州克拉图市的一个市区，对与人类共生的外来马氏半叶趾虎（Hemidactylus mabouia）和本地多疣叶趾虎（Phyllopezus pollicaris）蜥蜴进行了蠕虫和舌形虫检查。共收集了194只蜥蜴，其中马氏半叶趾虎76只，多疣叶趾虎118只。在马氏半叶趾虎中发现了六种寄生虫：绦虫Oochoristica属、线虫粗糙副咽线虫（Parapharyngodon sceleratus）、反曲泡翼线虫（Physaloptera retusa）、韦南西奥氏类泡翼线虫（Physalopteroides venancioi）、奥克斯库茨卡比氏斯保利戈线虫（Spauligodon oxkutzcabiensis）和舌形虫莫氏瑞列绦虫（Raillietiella mottae）；而在多疣叶趾虎中发现了四种与之相关的寄生虫：Oochoristica属、粗糙副咽线虫、反曲泡翼线虫和奥克斯库茨卡比氏斯保利戈线虫。报告了三个新的宿主记录：反曲泡翼线虫感染马氏半叶趾虎，反曲泡翼线虫和Oochoristica属感染多疣叶趾虎。所发现的寄生虫种类中约75%为两种蜥蜴所共有。此外，马氏半叶趾虎的寄生虫多样性高于多疣叶趾虎（分别为6种和4种），而多疣叶趾虎的感染强度高于马氏半叶趾虎（分别为1536只和121只）。
