Overview

Assesses the helminth parasite community in Gonatodes humeralis, highlighting the impact of host factors.

Key Points

  • The aim is to characterize the parasite community of Gonatodes humeralis in two conservation areas of the Amazon.
  • Collected a total of 132 Gonatodes humeralis lizards from two conservation areas.
  • Identified and analyzed three parasite taxa found in the lizards.
  • Examined the influence of various factors on the parasite community structure.
  • Identified three parasite types: Skrjabinelazia galliardi (dominant), Oochoristica sp., and Mesocoelium sp. (rare).
  • The parasite community was depauperate, noninteractive, and highly aggregated.
  • Host body length significantly shaped the parasite community, while sex, ontogeny, and collection site had a weaker influence.
