In this paper, the authors report the trematoda infection rate and describe 8 species of trematodes collected from these studied giant lizards. The infection rate in <em>Varanus nebulosus</em> is at 73.6% (14/19) and 85% <em>Varanus salvator</em> are infected. Eight species of trematodes from giant lizards are identified as <em>Singhiatrema vietnamensis </em>Curran  S. S., Overstreet R. M., The D. T., Le. N.
