We studied the helminths parasitizing the individuals of the Turkish smooth newt, Lissotriton schmidtleri (n = 60)and the Balkan crested newt, Triturus ivanbureschi (n = 40) collected from two localities in Ýzmir, Turkey. Of the100 newts, 20 (20%) were infected. We detected only one species of parasites, Megalobatrachonema terdentatum(Nematoda: Kathlaniidae), with a prevalence of 0.13% and 0.30% in L. schmidtleri and T. ivanbureschi, respectively.Triturus ivanbureschi represents a new host record for M. terdentatum. Also we present new locality recordsfor both hosts and helminth species. |
