Analysis of Parasitofauna and Endosymbionts of Lissotriton vulgaris L., 1758 (Caudata, salamandridae) in natural and urban gradients of the environment

Abstract

The analysis of the parasitic and endosymbiontofauna of the common newt (Lissotriton vulgarisL., 1758) in the natural and urban landscapes of the Middle Urals is presented for the first time. Four species of helminthes belonging to the Nematoda type were found, including 1 taxon indeterminate to the species (Nematodasp.), and 1 species of endosymbionts (Chromista type). The works devoted to the species composition ofL.vulgarisparasites on the territory of Eurasia are analyzed. The fauna of the helminthes of the common newt on the eastern slope of the Urals is depleted, which is probably determined by the limited distribution of the species outside Europe, the temperature regime in the north and moisture availability in the south.
