I can tell you from my experiences that I haven,mt had to treat wild caught monitors for parasites (not counting ticks or mites). In my experience I have had many species of monitors as wild caught. Most monitors can bounce back from things pretty quick if given the proper tools.
I have had monitors that tested for parasites and other pathogens and then six months later tested again and come up clean. I use basking spots of 140+ degrees.
If given proper environment and husbandry, unless at deaths door they can take care of themselves.
