Thelandros alatus, P. micipsae<\/jats:italic> and O. tuberculata<\/jats:italic> were recorded for the first time in C. ocellatus<\/jats:italic>. Parapharyngodon micipsae<\/jats:italic> was detected in C. ocellatus<\/jats:italic> from Benina and O. tuberculata<\/jats:italic> from lizards in Al-Kueffia. The majority (87.6%) of C. ocellatus<\/jats:italic> were infected with helminth parasites and the levels of infection were higher in males than in females but this difference was not significant. Pharyngodon mamillatus<\/jats:italic> recorded the highest number of nematode parasites in C. ocellatus<\/jats:italic>, although there was no relationship between the number of nematode parasites recovered and host density. In lizards infected with the cestode O. tuberculata<\/jats:italic>, males had shorter snout\u2013vent lengths than females. From a total of 153 C. ocellatus<\/jats:italic>, 120 (78.4%) showed single and 14 (9.2%) showed mixed parasitic infections. Mixed infections between different species of nematodes were not observed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1079\/joh2004258","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,4,13]],"date-time":"2005-04-13T00:22:20Z","timestamp":1113351740000},"page":"35-39","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Gastrointestinal helminths of the lizard Chalcides ocellatus<\/i> from Benghazi, Libya"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"79","author":[{"given":"H.M.S.","family":"Ibrahim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.M.","family":"Fadiel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G.A.","family":"Nair","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022149X0070335X_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1139\/z83-312"},{"key":"S0022149X0070335X_ref019","first-page":"979","volume-title":"Systema Helminthum Vol. 1.
