Helminth parasites of the Caucasian agama, Laudakia caucasia (Squamata: Agamidae), from IranDOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1654/4537.1, PP. 160-163 Keywords: "Nematode","Skrjabinodon pigmentatus","Spauligodon lacertae","Thelandros baylisi","prevalence","Laudakia caucasia","Agamidae","Iran" Abstract: Twenty-two Laudakia caucasia (Agamidae) from Iran were examined for helminths and found to harbor 3 species of Nematoda: Skrjabinodon pigmentatus, Spauligodon lacertae, and Thelandros baylisi. Laudakia caucasia represents a new host record for Sk. pigmentatus and Sp. lacertae; Iran is a new locality record for all 3 nematode species. Thelandros baylisi had the highest prevalence of infection (91%) followed by Sk. pigmentatus (45%) and Sp. lacertae (36%).
