Descripción: This study presented data on helminth fauna of two gecko lizards, Hemidactylus agrius and
Lygodactylus klugei, from Caatinga biome in northeastern Brazil. It was found four helminth species
parasitizing H. agrius, cistacanth of Centrorhynchidae (Acanthocephala) and the nematodes
Physalopteridae (larvae), Parapharyngodon alvarengai (Pharyngodonidae) and Skrjabinelazia sp.
(Seuratidade). The host Lygodactylus klugei presented two helminth species, one individual of
Mesocoelium monas (Trematoda: Mesocoeliidae) in the small intestine and one encysted larvae of
Physalopteridae (Nematoda: Physalopteridae) attached at stomach wall. The lizard species showed a
low prevalence and low richness of helminths. Moreover, H. agrius presented a low intensity of
infection. The foraging mode, arboreal habit and a restricted composition of diet could favoring the low
prevalence, low infection rates and low richness of helminths found in these geckonid host species.
