Description
1. Introduction Brazil has approximately 52 species of amphisbaenas, of which 18 occur in the northeastern region of the country. Due to the fossorial habits of the amphisbaenas, little is known about the biology of these animals or about their rates of infection by parasites. Of all of the species that occur in northeastern Brazil, only Amphisbaena alba has been examined for macroparasites: nematodes (Aplectana pusilla Miranda, 1924 and A. unguiculate [Rud, 1819]) and pentastomids (Raillietiella giliolii) (Vicente et al., 1993; Almeida et al., 2006). There is only data available concerning microparasites from Valverde et al. (2005), who reported coccidian cysts in A. alba and A. vermicularis.
