ABSTRACT Twelve species of parasites were recovered from recently imported Tokay geckos, Gekko gecko. These included one cestode species, Oochoristica rachiensis, two trematode species, Mesocoelium monas and Paradistomum geckonum, six nematbde species, Pharyngodon kuntzi, Skrjabinodon sp., Parapharyngodon sp. Meteterakis longispiculata, Physalopteroides sp., and Strongyloides sp., one acanthocephalan species, Porrorchis sp., one pentastomid species, Raillietiella affinis, and one coccidian species, Eimeria tokayae. Of the 20 species previously reported infecting Tokay geckos, eight were identified in this study. Two species are new host records and two others are undescribed species. The most common helminths recovered were Pharyngodon kuntzi, Meteterakis longispiculata, and Raillietiella affinis.
