Abstract

We provided a list of eleven taxa of endo and ecto parasites associated with nine species of anoles of Ecuador. The parasites identified in laboratory are: nematodes of the family Ascarididae in Anolis dracula, A. trachyderma and A. scypheus; larvae of the genus Cochliomyia spp. (Calliphoridae) in Anolis parvauritus; and larvae of mites of the family Trombiculidae in Anolis nemonteae and A. gracilipes.
