Plestiodon longirostris is a critically endangered endemic skink living in the Bermuda archipelago. To know their intestinal parasites and evaluate the role that they may have in the conservation of the species, we have carried out a faecal analysis of some samples obtained from several populations. This type of analysis is presented as the most suitable for threatened species. The results show that P. longirostris has incorporated parasites from introduced species in Bermuda, and it is a competent host for these parasites. Nevertheless, the low prevalence of infection of these parasites suggests that they are not actually a threat to the endemic skink populations.

使用粪便分析检查百慕大石龙子、长角斑蝽（Scincidae）的蠕虫动物群

Pestiodon longirostris 是一种生活在百慕大群岛的极度濒危的地方性石龙子。为了了解它们的肠道寄生虫并评估它们在物种保护中的作用，我们对从几个种群中获得的一些样本进行了粪便分析。这种类型的分析被认为最适合于受威胁的物种。结果表明 P. longirostris 已经从百慕大引进的物种中吸收了寄生虫，并且它是这些寄生虫的有效宿主。尽管如此，这些寄生虫的感染率低表明它们实际上并不是对地方性石龙子种群的威胁。
