We analyzed the patterns of infection by helminths in populations of the Gymnophthalmidae lizard from three Atlantic Forest fragments in Northeast Brazil. Prevalence and mean intensity of infection by location showed the following results: ARIE Mata de Goiamunduba (60.8 % and 10.4 ± 8), RPPN Engenho Gargaú (83.3 % and 20.8 ± 19.7) and Benjamim Maranhão Botanical Garden (70.4 % and 7.78 ± 5.8). We provide the first records of helminth infection for the lizard , in which three species of nematodes, sp., sp. and and one trematode were recovered. Trematodes of the genus were previously known as parasites only in snake and amphisbaenian hosts in South America. Now, our study provides the first record of a species belonging to this genus parasitizing lizards. In conclusion, our study shows that have a depleted helminth fauna (three species at maximum), similar to other studies with lizards of this family in Brazil and that its parasite abundance is related to host snout-vent length, but not to the sex.
我们分析了来自巴西东北部三个大西洋森林片段的裸眼蜥科蜥蜴种群中蠕虫的感染模式。按地点划分的感染率和平均感染强度显示出以下结果：阿里耶马塔德戈亚蒙杜巴（60.8%和10.4±8）、恩根霍加尔高ú国家私人自然遗产保护区（83.3%和20.8±19.7）以及本杰明·马拉尼昂植物园（70.4%和7.78±5.8）。我们提供了该蜥蜴蠕虫感染的首批记录，从中发现了三种线虫，分别为sp.、sp.和，以及一种吸虫。该属吸虫此前仅在南美洲的蛇和蚓蜥宿主中被发现为寄生虫。现在，我们的研究首次记录了该属的一个物种寄生在蜥蜴身上。总之，我们的研究表明，该蜥蜴的蠕虫动物群匮乏（最多三种），这与巴西对该科蜥蜴的其他研究类似，并且其寄生虫丰度与宿主吻肛长度有关，而与性别无关。
