Nematode parasites of Lyciasalamandra atifi and L. fazilae (Caudata: Salamandridae) from Turkey

Abstract

Fifteen Lyciasalamandra atifi and 14 L. fazilae from Antalya Province, Turkey, were examined for helminths. Three species of nematodes, Rhabdias bermani, Aplectana acuminata, and Cosmocerca longicauda, were found in L. atifi and 2 species, Aplectana linstowi and Cosmocerca longicauda, were found in L. fazilae. L. atifi represents a new host record for each of the 3 species of nematodes reported; L. fazilae represents a new host record for each of the 2 species of nematodes reported.Onbeş Lyciasalamandra atifi ve 14 L. fazilae helmintleri incelenmek üzere Türkiye’nin Antalya ilinden toplanmıştır.
