We tested the role of sex, size, and mass of the lizards , , , , and on the rates of pentastomid infection in the Brazilian Caatinga. We collected 355 individuals of these five species, of which four (prevalence of infection: 15.9 %, 1.4 %, 28.57 %, and 4.16 %) were infected by . Parasite abundance was influenced by host body size and mass only in . Host sex did not infl uence the abundance of parasites in any species. , , and are three new host records for pentastomids.
我们测试了蜥蜴的性别、体型和体重对巴西卡廷加地区五口吸虫感染率的影响。我们收集了这五个物种的355个个体,其中四个物种(感染率分别为:15.9%、1.4%、28.57%和4.16%)感染了五口吸虫。仅在[具体物种未提及]中,寄生虫丰度受宿主身体大小和体重的影响。宿主性别对任何物种的寄生虫丰度均无影响。[具体物种未提及]、[具体物种未提及]和[具体物种未提及]是五口吸虫的三个新宿主记录。
