Özet
In this investigation, seventeen Turkish worm lizards, Blanus strauchi, and eighteen slow worms, Anguis fragilis, collected from Turkey, were examined for helminths. Blanus strauchi harbored 2 species of Nematoda: Pharyngodon spinicauda and Aplectana sp. (larvae); Anguis fragilis harbored 5 species of Nematoda:, Rhabdias bufonis, Entomelas entomelas, Oswaldocruzia filiformis, Cosmocerca ornata and Oxysomatium brevicaudatum. Blanus strauchi represents a new host record for Pharyngodon spinicauda and Aplectana sp. Anguis fragilis, represents a new host record for Cosmocerca ornata. Turkey is a new locality record for Pharyngodon spinicauda.
