Abstract
Reviews previous studies and uses examples of parasites on the spadefoot toad and sarcopic mange in coyotes. Outlines the movement to find host and the monoxenic and heteroxenic life cycles. Compares lizard parasites from different habitats and parasites from man in deserts, concluding that the low population densities of hosts in deserts make them unsuitable as habitats for parasites. -S.J.Yates
