Infection with a novel pentastome (Raillietiella sp.) in a juvenile endangered Gal acute accent apagos tortoise (Chelonoidis niger)

VETERINARY PARASITOLOGY- REGIONAL STUDIES AND REPORTS, 35.

By: L. Swanepoel, A. Loyola*, J. Flowers n, G. Lewbart n, K. Garrett* & M. Yabsley*

author keywords: Chelonoidis Niger; Gal ?apagos tortoise; Health; Pentastome; Rallietiella
MeSH headings : Animals; Arthropods; Female; Lizards; Male; Mammals; Niger; Pentastomida; Plastics; Turtles / genetics; Turtles / parasitology
TL;DR: Pentastomes are crustacean endoparasites in the lungs of herpetofauna and rarely mammals and birds and because some pentastome species, especially when in aberrant hosts, can be pathogenic, additional studies of parasites in native and introduced reptile and amphibian species in the Galápagos are needed to better understand the risk this parasite poses to GaláPagos tortoises.
