One hundred eighty-three specimens representing 7 anuran species were examined for helminth parasites: Bufo kelloggi, B. mazatlanensis, Leptodactylus melanonotus, Pachymedusa dacnicolor, Rana forreri, R. magnaocularis, Smilisca baudini . The following species were found: 8 species of Trematoda, Cephalogonimus americanus, Clinostomum attenuatum (larva), Glypthelmins poncedeleoni, G. quieta, Gorgoderina attenuata, Haematoloechus complexus, H. longiplexus , and Megalodiscus temperatus ; 2 species…

Abstract The helminthological record of Rana cf. forreri in Acapulco municipality, Guerrero state, Mexico, consists of 19 taxa: 5 digeneans—Catadiscus rodriguezi, Haematoloechus coloradensis,…

Gastrointestinal Helminths from Six Species of Frogs and Three Species of Lizards, Sympatric in Pará State, Brazil

Thirteen new host records and 2 new locality records are reported and only B. salamandrae occurred in both frogs and lizards.

Thirty-seven new host records and 13 new locality records are reported and 1 species of Acanthocephala (cystacanths) were found.

Helminths of Two Species of Frogs, Lithobates taylori and Lithobates vaillanti (Ranidae), From Costa Rica

Two species of ranid frogs from Costa Rica were examined for helminth parasites and five species of Digenea, Glypthelmins facioi, Gorgoderina megacetabularis, Haematoloechus meridionalis, Langeronia macrocirra, Loxogenes arcanum and Contracaecum sp.

Helminth Parasites of the Leopard Frog Lithobates sp. Colima (Amphibia: Ranidae) from Colima, Mexico

The semiaquatic habits of this species of frog and the availability of particular feeding resources appear to determine the helminth composition and infection levels; however, co-speciation events also play an important role structuring these helminths communities.

Gastrointestinal Helminths of Six Sympatric Species of Leptodactylus from Tocantins State, Brazil

A large number of new host records are reported and the mean number of helminth species infecting each frog species was 3.3 ± 2.1 SD, with a range of 1–7.1SD.

Helminth Parasites in Chaunus marinus and Cranopis valliceps (Anura: Bufonidae) from Lagunas Yalahau, Yucatan, Mexico

Nematodes, particularly A. iztocanensis, showed high prevalence, mean abundance, and mean intensity values for both species of amphibians, suggesting a preference by neotropical, rather than neartic areas.

Helminth parasites of Leptodactylus podicipinus (Anura: Leptodactylidae) from south-eastern Pantanal, State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil.

Leptodactylus podicipinus was preferentially infected by direct life-cycle parasites and was reported as a new host record for seven helminth species.

New Species of Hedruris (Nematoda: Hedruridae), Anuracanthorhynchus lutzi (Hamann, 1891) n. comb. and other Helminths in Lithobates warszewitschii (Anura: Ranidae) from Costa Rica

Hedruris heyeri n.

Helminth community structure of the oven frog Leptodactylus latinasus (Anura, Leptodactylidae) from Corrientes, Argentina

All parasite helminth species showed an aggregated pattern of distribution and the most infected organs were kidneys, small intestine, large intestine and pharyngeal zone and the host body size was important in determining the parasites abundance of G. repandum.

F. lowei is the 14th Nearctic species to be described and belongs to that group of species possessing a pseudosucker, namely F. catesbeianae, F. chelydrae, and F. wardi, and can be readily differentiated from these by the arrangement of caudal papillae and length of spicules.

Studies on the life history and development of Macracanthorhynchus ingens Meyer, 1933, with a redescription of the adult worm.

This worm was first described by von Linstow (1879) as Echinorhynchus ingens and Meyer (1933) removed it from Prosthenorchis and included it in the genus Macracanthorh Cynchus on the basis of the large size of the body and the nature of the outer shell of the egg.

Two specimens of the cane toad, Bufo marinus, were found with single worm infestations of the eye, which is both a new host record and a new site of development for this amphibian parasite.
