摘要: New epidemiological data on bacterial and parasitic infections in 24 Italian wall lizards, namely Podarcis sicula (mainland population) P. klemmerii (insular southern Italy were provided. To achieve this goal, samples collected from individuals belonging to the two populations analysed by microbiological parasitological methods. A wide range of bacteria (e.g. Pantoea spp., Citrobacter Morganella Pseudomonas, Enterobacter Staphylococcus spp. Escherichia coli) parasites Ophionyssus natricis, coccidia, Dicrocoelidae) detected both individuals. Insular population presented similar diversity its mainland counterpart. Ampicillin was antimicrobial with highest resistance rate. This study highlighted various parasites, some them potentially zoonotic. Further studies are needed better understand epidemiology transmission routes these pathogens along their impact welfare behaviour lizards.
