Abstract

Acanthocephalan parasites, normally known as spiny-headed worms, were identified within skin nodules during necropsy in a wild painted bronzeback tree snake (Dendrelaphis pictus). Staining using carmine stain and examination under light microscope revealed the characteristics of acanthocephala. This is the first record of an acanthocephalan occurring in a painted bronzeback tree snake. The report indicates that this parasite may play a role in reptile disease and may even lead to death.
