dc.description.abstractA survey of parasites of the rough-tailed gecko Cyrtopodion scabrum was carried out in Turkey in order to determine the diversity of ecto- and endoparasites of this host species. The sample of 88 host specimens (36 females, 34 males and 18 juveniles) harboured endoparasites of three species: the cestode Diplopylidium noelleri and the nematodes Physaloptera sp. and Physocephalus sp. One ectoparasite species, Geckobia sp. (Acari), was also recorded. This report represents the first data on parasites of C. scabrum from Turkey. A species of the genus Geckobia sp. is recorded for the first time from Turkey. The present study provides the first parasite records for C. scabrum in its native geographical range.
