Laudakia caucasia represents a new host record for Sk. pigmentatus and Sp. lacertae; Iran is a new locality record for all 3 nematode species. Thelandros baylisi had the highest prevalence of infection (91%) followed by Sk. pigmentatus (45%) and Sp. lacertae (36%). %K "Nematode" %K "Skrjabinodon pigmentatus" %K "Spauligodon lacertae" %K "Thelandros baylisi" %K "prevalence" %K "Laudakia caucasia" %K "Agamidae" %K "Iran" %U http://www.bioone.org/doi/full/10.1654/4537.1
