Helminths of Ten Species of Geckos (Squamata: Gekkonidae) from Papua New Guinea, with Comparisons between Immigrant and Endemic Geckos. Pac Sci 64(1): 131-140.0030-8870http://hdl.handle.net/10125/23096v. ill. 23 cm.QuarterlyTwo hundred three individuals representing 10 species of gekkonid lizards from Papua New Guinea collected from 2002 to 2005 were examined for helminths: Cyrtodactylus epiroticus ðn ¼ 2Þ, C. klugei ðn ¼ 2Þ, C. loriae ðn ¼ 7Þ, C. novaeguineae ðn ¼ 3Þ, C. sermowaiensis ðn ¼ 30Þ, Gehyra mutilata ðn ¼ 22Þ, G. oceanica ðn ¼ 27Þ, Gekko vittatus ðn ¼ 41Þ, Hemidactylus frenatus ðn ¼ 29Þ, and Lepidodactylus lugubris ðn ¼ 40Þ. One species of Digenea, one species of Cestoda, 18 species of Nematoda, as well as three taxa of nematode larvae (in cysts) were found. Thirty-one new host records and six new locality (¼ country) records are reported. Prevalence in endemic geckos was significantly higher than in nonendemic geckos.10 p.en-USNatural history--Periodicals.Science--PeriodicalsNatural history--Pacific Area--Periodicals.Article
