Of the 100 newts, 20 (20%) were infected. We detected only one species of parasites, Megalobatrachonema terdentatum (Nematoda: Kathlaniidae), with a prevalence of 0.13% and 0.30% in L. schmidtleri and T. ivanbureschi, respec-tively. Triturus ivanbureschi represents a new host record for M. terdentatum. Also we present new locality re-cords for both hosts and helminth species.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCaudata salamandridaeNematode parasitesAmphibiaNewtsFaunaNematodaMegalobatrachonema terdentatumLissotriton schmidtleriTriturus ivanbureschiTurkeyScience & technologyLife sciences & biomedicineZoologyArticle0009426187000011430110.30906/1026-2296-2023-30-1-1-4
