The list provides data on hosts, developmental stage, sites of infection, geographical distribution in Peruvian territory, code of material deposited in helminthological collections, references and taxonomic notes. The database includes records of 106 different species of helminth parasites (82 nominal species and 24 taxa identified at the generic level), the majority in the adult stage. These helminth parasites come from 18 of the 25 official Peruvian regions. Nematodes have the highest richness in number of species (79 species), followed by trematodes (17 species) and cestodes (nine species). The acanthocephalans are represented by only one species. The parasites with the highest number of records were<jats:italic>Physaloptera retusa<\/jats:italic>Rudolphi, 1819 (11 hosts),<jats:italic>Physalopteroides venancioi<\/jats:italic>(Lent, Freitas &amp; Proen\u00e7a, 1946) (nine hosts),<jats:italic>Strongyluris oscari<\/jats:italic>Travassos, 1923 (seven hosts), and<jats:italic>Parapharyngodon scleratus<\/jats:italic>Travassos, 1923 (five hosts), all of which are nematodes. The 106 taxa of helminth parasites have been reported infecting 55 species of reptiles in Peru, distributed in 34 genera and 14 families. The reptile species harbouring the highest number of helminth parasites are the yellow-footed tortoise<jats:italic>Chelonoidis denticulatus<\/jats:italic>(Linnaeus) with 18 species (three trematodes and 15 nematodes), followed by the Peru desert tegu<jats:italic>Dicrodon guttulatum<\/jats:italic>Dum\u00e9ril &amp; Bibron (Teiidae) with 11 species (three cestodes and eight nematodes) and the yellow-spotted Amazon River turtle<jats:italic>Podocnemis unifilis<\/jats:italic>Troschel (Podocnemididae) with 10 species (five trematodes and five nematodes). Of the 524 species of reptiles reported in Peru, only 55 (&gt;10%) are reported as hosts of helminths representing a small proportion considering the great variety of reptile hosts that inhabit the various tropical and subtropical geographical areas of Peru.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022149x22000220","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,25]],"date-time":"2022-04-25T07:03:57Z","timestamp":1650870237000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["A checklist of helminths associated with reptiles (Tetrapoda: Reptilia) from Peru"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"96","author":[{"given":"I.","family":"Cuellar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"S\u00e1ez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Cant\u00fa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L.","family":"S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Mendoza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D.F.","family":"Conga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C.L.","family":"Cruces","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.L.","family":"Luque","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3633-1365","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J.D.","family":"Chero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022149X22000220_ref8","first-page":"848","volume-title":"Keys to the trematoda","author":"Bray","year":"2008"},{"key":"S0022149X22000220_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1645\/19-27"},{"key":"S0022149X22000220_ref58","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1515\/helmin-2016-0045"},{"key":"S0022149X22000220_ref12","unstructured":"Carvajal-Campos, A and Rodr\u00edguez-Guerra, A (2019) Chelonoidis denticulatus.
