Molecular characterization of Schellackia parasites in an urban population of sand lizards (Lacerta agilis) from Berlin, Germany
Lizards are hosts of several taxa of unicellular parasites of the phylum Apicomplexa, including Karyolysus , Schellackia , Lankesterella, and Hepatozoon . Parasite prevalence and the impact of infections on lizard biology remain largely unexplored. In this study, blood parasite infections were inves...

| description | Lizards are hosts of several taxa of unicellular parasites of the phylum Apicomplexa, including
Karyolysus
,
Schellackia
,
Lankesterella,
and
Hepatozoon
. Parasite prevalence and the impact of infections on lizard biology remain largely unexplored. In this study, blood parasite infections were investigated in sand lizards (
Lacerta agilis
) from Berlin, Germany
.
Eighty-three individuals were investigated, and the detected blood parasites were identified as
Schellackia
sp
.
The combination of microscopic and molecular screening revealed a prevalence of 14.5%. Parasitemia values were low and most infections were subpatent. Phylogenetic analysis recovered a close relationship of the
Schellackia
parasites of this study with
Schellackia
sp
.
parasites of different
Lacerta
and
Podarcis
lizard species from Spain. Monitoring of
Schellackia
parasite infections in free-ranging lizards contributes to a better understanding of the distribution, diversity, and phylogenetic relationships of the neglected parasite taxon. |
