The most important pathogenic fungus isolated was <jats:italic>Basidiobolus haptosporus<\/jats:italic>, an aetiological agent of subcutaneous zygomycosis. It was recovered from the intestinal contents of 112 (56%) lizards. Other important fungi isolated included <jats:italic>Aspergillus<\/jats:italic> spp. in 24 (12%) lizards, <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic> spp. in 12 (6%), <jats:italic>Penicillium<\/jats:italic> spp. in 12 (6%) and <jats:italic>Fusarium<\/jats:italic> spp. in 12 (6%). <jats:italic>Mucor<\/jats:italic> spp. were isolated from eight (4%) male lizards only. Agamid lizards are plentiful in rural and urban areas of Nigeria. As they live in close vicinity to man, they are likely to play an important role in the spread of disease that may be caused by these fungi and its transmission to man. None of the animals investigated that yielded fungal cultures revealed any external fungal infection.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Zusammenfassung. <\/jats:bold> Es wurde die Pilzflora im Darmtrakt von 200 nigerianischen Garteneidechsen (<jats:italic>Agama agama<\/jats:italic>) untersucht.

Er konnte aus dem Darmtrakt von 112 Eidechsen (56%) isoliert werden. An anderen bedeutsamen Pilzen wurden isoliert: <jats:italic>Aspergillus<\/jats:italic> spp. 24 (12%), <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic> spp. 12 (6%), <jats:italic>Penicillium<\/jats:italic> spp. 12 (6%) und <jats:italic>Fusarium<\/jats:italic> spp. 12 (5%). <jats:italic>Mucor<\/jats:italic> spp. konnten nur achtmal (4%) von ausschlie\u00dflich m\u00e4nnlichen Eidechsen isoliert werden. <jats:italic>Agama<\/jats:italic>\u2010Eidechsen sind h\u00e4ufig in l\u00e4ndlichen wie st\u00e4dtischen Gebieten Nigerias.
