Demkowska-Kutrzepa et al. (2018) review reports of Nearctic parasites in T. s. elegans present in Europe and Asia. Evidence of two helminth parasites ( Spirorchis elegans and Spiroxys contortus) host-switching from T. s. elegans to native European turtle, Emys orbicularis, has been found in Spain, Bulgaria, and Romania.
