Abstract     
Testudinidae One hundred and four Nematodes parasites of Testudinidae have been recorded. A list of all valid species within orders, superfamily, family and genus are give. For each species the host-type, locality-type and other records are presented. The subspecies are raised to level of species. The highest number of taxonomic studies concerned the Palaearctic region and the Ethiopian region; but a lower number of studies were devoted to the other regions: Oriental, Neotropical and the Nearctic. The parasite species diversity of nematodes seems to be linked to the species diversity of hosts. A good significant relationship between the number of taxonomic studies and the species diversity of hosts was noted and a significant relationship between the species diversity of parasites and the generic diversity of the parasites was also observed. The host specificity does not differ between the oxyurida species and the ascaridida species.
