archy of parasite community terms, including infracommunity<br />
(helminths in a single host), component<br />
community (helminths of a host species),<br />
and supracommunity (helminths in sympatric<br />
hosts). Table 2 represents the contribution of<br />
agamid lizards to the Australian helminth supracommunity.<br />
Mean number of helminth species<br />
harbored per host species was 3.50 ± 0.58 SE<br />
(range, 1-9). Aho (1990) compiled distributional<br />
x§ - —<br />
patterns for lizards in general and reported the<br />
mean total number of helminth species per host<br />
species to be 2.06 ± 0.13 SE (range, 1-4).<br />
Whether this greater number of helminth species<br />
per host species is a local Australian phenomenon<br />
or the result of insufficient data on the helminths<br />
of this diverse fauna must await further<br />
studies of Australian lizard helminths.<br />
