Abstract
abstract: Eight robust ctenotus individuals, Ctenotus robustus Storr, 1970, and 8 copper-tailed skinks, Ctenotus taeniolatus (White, 1790), from Australia were examined for helminths. Only Nematoda were found. Ctenotus robustus contained Skrjabinodon piankai. Ctenotus taeniolatus contained Abbreviata sp. (larvae in cysts) and S. piankai. Ctenotus robustus and C. taeniolatus are the fourth and fifth hosts to harbor S. piankai. All findings are new host records.
期刊介绍:
Comparative Parasitology (continuing the Journal of the Helminthological Society of Washington in its 67th volume) focuses on parasitological research of a comparative nature, emphasizing taxonomy, systematics, ecology, biogeography, evolution, faunal survey, and biological inventory within a morphological and/or molecular context. The scope of Comparative Parasitology extends to all parasitic faunas, including helminths, protistans and arthropods.
