A total of 50 apparently healthy Egyptian tortoises were taken from five different localities in Egypt, from: Port Saied pet animal shops, Elsayeda Aesha market, Ismailia pet animal shops, Cairo pet animal shops and Giza pet animal shops. The parasitological examination revealed the presence of nine nematode parasites, Tachygonetria paradentata, Alaeuris asirensis, Thelandros massae, Thelandros species, Physaloptera species, Atractis species, Mehdiella microstoma, Mehdiella species and Angusticaecum holopterum. The prevalence of these nematode parasites in the five groups was tabulated. This study recommended the periodical examination of tortoises for parasitic infestation and improving their environment in captivity.
