ABSTRACT

 

Sayadia F, Hashemniab M, Rezaeib F,  Azadbakhta M, Pouyania NR., Concurrent esocoelium monas and Hyalomma spp. infection  in Acanthodactylus nilsoni, Onl J Vet Res., 18(4): 364-368, 2014. Reptiles carry diseases which spread to other animals. Many factors suppress immune response in reptiles and increase the opportunity for bacteria, viruses, yeast and funguses to cause infections and consequent diseases. Remarkably little data are available on the impact of reptilian parasites on their primary hosts, reptiles. Nilson’s spiny-toed lizard (Sauria: Lacertidae) is endemic to western Iran. Although some morphological and biological characteristics of this species were described previously, there is no document describing parasitic diseases in this species. The aim of this report is to describe the concurrent infection of Mesocoelium monas and Hyalomma spp. in Nilson’s spiny-toed lizard possibly for the first time.

 

Key words. Reptiles Hyalomma spp, Mesocoelium monas.
