This is the first report on helminths parasitize the white-spotted wall gecko, Tarentola annularis from Shendi area in Sudan. A total of 32 geckos were collected between January and May 2018, and examined for helminth infections. Three nematode species of the family Pharyngodonidae were identified: Pharyngodon mamillatus, Spauligodon brevibursata and Parapharyngodon sp. The most prevalent nematode found was P. mamillatus followed by S. brevibursata. The overall prevalence and intensity of infections was 81.3% and 6.8 nematodes per one infected gecko, respectively. The prevalence and intensity of infections were observed to be more in adult male geckos compared to adult females. On the other hand, the prevalence and intensity of infections were significantly higher in adult geckos compared to the juveniles.
