TL;DR: The lizard population was parasitized by 8 helminth species, and the species composition of the component community resembles that found for other Neotropical lizards.

TL;DR: The foraging mode, arboreal habit and a restricted composition of diet could favoring the low prevalence, low infection rates and low richness of helminths found in these geckonid host species.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the high abundance of O. aeneus makes it an appropriate model organism for studies on activity patterns of snakes in semi-arid environments.

TL;DR: The helminth communities associated with different populations of the host lizard Hemidactylus mabouia are determined, testing if the similarity of parasite communities decreases as the distance between them increases, and no relationship of decaying similarity with increasing distance is found.

TL;DR: Levels of helminth infection in a population of the flat lizard Tropidurus semitaeniatus are reported for the first time, and the most frequently occurring species was the intestinal nematode Parapharyngodon alvarengai, which did not exhibit differences in prevalence and intensity of infection relative to host sex or age/body size.
