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 />
