Resumen:
Four species of lizards, Anolis nebulosus, Ctenosaura pectinata, Phyllodactylus lanei, and Sceloporus nelsoni, were examined for gastrointestinal helminths. Twelve species of helminths were recovered. The most diverse helminth fauna was found in Ctenosaura pectinata, which had the largest body sizes and the most diverse diet. The greatest prevalence was for Alaeuris mexicana in C. pectinata (93%); the highest mean intensity was for Atractis scelopori in C. pectinata (2905).
