Abstract

A total of 61 specimens (26♀♀, 31 ♂♂, and 4 juveniles) of Darevskia clarkorum (Darevsky & Vedmederja, 1977), collected between 2000 and 2005 from five provinces of Türkiye (Ordu, Giresun, Trabzon, Rize, and Artvin) and archived as museum material, were subjected to helminthological examination. As a result of the examinations conducted, 2 Cestoda (Nematotaenia tarentolae, Oochoristica tuberculata), 4 Nematoda (Strongyloides darevskyi, Oswaldocruzia filiformis, Skrjabinodon medinae, Agamospirura sp.), and 1 Acanthocephala (Centrorhynchus sp. larvae) species were identified in the host. In addition, an ectoparasite species in the arthropod belonging to the order Ixodida (Ixodes ricinus) was encountered. Except for Ixodes ricinus, all parasite species have been recorded for the first time in D. clarkorum in the literature. In this respect, the study makes an important contribution to both the species’ parasite fauna and the herpetofauna of Türkiye.
