Reptile Parasitology in Health and Disease
Original language description
A routine parasitological examination should address the three most commonly affected systems, the gastrointestinal tract, the respiratory tract and the skin. A direct microscopic examination of a faecal smear is a simple and efficacious diagnostic test for detecting moderate to heavy parasite burdens. Roundworms and hookworms are significant parasites of the gastrointestinal tract of snakes and lizards. Rhabdias commonly parasitizes the lungs of snakes, causing a verminous pneumonia. Snakes with verminous pneumonia require individual treatment and housing in clean enclosures. The most significant ectoparasite of reptiles is the blood‐sucking snake mite Ophionyssus natricis. Application of antiparasiticides must be in conjunction with the management of the parasitic stages outside the reptile. However, these parasites can be transmitted via feeding equipment or in food items, such as free‐living rodents and birds, fish, amphibians and insects. Identification and elimination of the source is an integral component of the parasite management.
