The gastrointestinal helminth communities of five populations of Anolis grahami, an introduced anole on Bermuda, were surveyed to determine the prevalence, abundance, and species diversity of parasites in these reptiles. Only three nematode species were found, Atractis scelopori, Parapharyngodon cubensis, and Physaloptera squamatae. This species, P. squamatae, is recorded for the first time in Anolis grahami on Bermuda, probably introduced through its arthropod intermediate host. The role of the host A. grahami as a “spillover” agent for these parasites is discussed.

百慕大引进的 Anole Anolis grahami (Polychrotidae) 蠕虫群落中鳞翅目线虫的首次记录

对引入百慕大的 Anolis grahami 的五个种群的胃肠道蠕虫群落进行了调查，以确定这些爬行动物中寄生虫的流行率、丰度和物种多样性。只发现了三种线虫，即 Atractis scelopori、Parapharyngodon cubensis 和 Physaloptera squamatae。该物种 P. squamatae 首次在百慕大的 Anolis grahami 中被记录，可能是通过其节肢动物中间宿主引入的。讨论了宿主 A. grahami 作为这些寄生虫的“溢出”代理的作用。
