Laudakia caucasia represents a new host record for Sk. pigmentatus and Sp. lacertae; Iran is a new locality record for all 3 nematode species. Thelandros baylisi had the highest prevalence of infection (91%) followed by Sk. pigmentatus (45%) and Sp. lacertae (36%). Rezazadeh", ". , Tajbakhs", ". , Bursey", ". R. , Mobedi", ". , Kiabi", ".
