- W2441769189 abstract "Parasite surveys of exotic hosts offer the opportunity to examine parasite colonization on different scales (i.e., host individual, host population, host species, and new geographic locality). Ten helminths (Macracanthorhynchus ingens, Mesoces- toides lineatus, Oochoristica javaensis, Haematoloechus varioplexus, Mesocoelium monas, Telorchis corti, Cosmocercoides var- iabilis, Oswaldocruzia leidyi, Skrjabinoptera sp., and a larval acuariid nematode) were recovered from the exotic Mediterranean gecko Hemidactylus turcicus, in southeastern Louisiana. Only 1 exotic parasite, 0. javaensis, colonized a new geographic locality, but 7 local helminths colonized a new host species. Helminth communities of H. turcicus were similar in structure to what has been hypothesized or observed for lizards. Thus, communities were composed of generalists and were depauperate (i.e., colo- nization of individual geckos or host populations was rare for most of the helminths); however, there was significant variation in community structure among local habitats. Although the gecko's behavioral and physiological attributes predict colonization by monoxenous helminths, only 2, C. variabilis and 0. leidyi, were recovered. Eight heteroxenous helminths, 2 of which (the acuariid and 0. javaensis) were the most widely distributed and abundant, were the better colonizers. The gecko's generalist diet may have exposed it to a diverse parasite fauna and thus been important in determining the helminths that could colonize. Helminth component communities of the introduced Medi- terranean gecko Hemidactylus turcicus were examined from 6 locations in southeast Louisiana. Hemidactylus turcicus is an Old World gecko that is found naturally around the Mediter- ranean regions of Africa, Asia, Europe, into Somalia, and west- ern India (Conant and Collins, 1991). It was first reported in the United States from Florida in 1915 (Stejneger, 1922) and was first collected from Louisiana in 1949 (Etheridge, 1952). It has since extended its distribution throughout the southern Unit- ed States (Conant and Collins, 1991). Because life history char- acteristics of H. turcicus have been well documented in its in- troduced range (Rose and Barbour, 1968; Selcer, 1986; Saenz, 1996), hypotheses for determinants of parasite colonization and community structure, especially those from studies on reptile hosts (Aho, 1990), could be examined in relation to host ecol- ogy. In this report, host or parasite attributes that may have facilitated parasite colonization, and thus ultimately affected the composition of the component communities, are discussed." @default.
