Resumen

Helminthfauna of Podarcis lilfordi (Günther, 1874) (Sauria, Lacertidae) from the small islands surrounding Menorca (Balearic Islands, Western Mediterranean)
A survey about the helminthfauna of Podarcis lilfordi (Günther, 1874) (Sauria, Lacertidae) in the Gimnesic Islands (Balearic Islands, Spain) has been carried out. Eleven species of helminths were found, two Digenea, eight Nematoda and one Acanthocephala. Data of prevalence of each helminth species are indicated. The nematodes Skrjabinodon medinae and Spauligodon cabrerae show the highest values of prevalence and abundance. Host-parasite relationships are discussed, and the absence of cestodes is pointed out.
