“…However, none of them analyzed the egg and larva morphology of the species studied. Recent publications on Raillietiella mottae (Almeida, Freire, & Lopes 2008), have included studies of its taxonomy and occurrence (Almeida et al, 2008a;Silva et al, 2019), and evaluations of its infection rates, prevalence, and mean infection intensity in lizards in northeastern Brazil (Almeida et al, 2008b(Almeida et al, , 2009Anjos et al, 2008;Sousa et al, 2010;Brito et al, 2014;Lima et al, 2018).
