Abstract
Persistence of the component parasite community of Sceloporus jarrovii was examined from samples taken 22 yr apart. Of the nematodes recover ed, Spauligodon giganticus represents a core species; Physaloptera ret usa, Thubunaea intestinalis, Oochoristica scelopori, and Mesocestoides sp. are satellite species. Species composition, prevalences, and inte nsities were similar after 22 yr, suggesting a persistent helminth com ponent community.
