Abstract
The present study aimed to survey some of theprotozoan and
metazoan parasitesinfecting some reptile species in Egypt. Reptiles
were collected from five locations, Assiut , Luxor, Sohage , Aswan
and South Sinai deserts during the period from Septemper 2012 to

The examined specimens assigned to seven different species

(Trapelus) mutabilis (family: Agamidae), Chamaeleo chamaeleon
(family: Chamaeleonidae), Uromastyx aegyptius (family: Agamidae
), Varanus griseus (family: Varanidae) and Cerastes cerastes
(family: Viperidae ).
During the present investigation, the only protozoan parasite
recorded was Hepatozoonseurati, with a percentage of 8.84%
(13/147) in C. cerastes. From the recorded metazoan parasites, The
