| Abstract: | Forty adult Bufo hemiophrys from Alberta, Canada, were examined for helminths. Four species were found: a trematode, Gorgoderina simplex, and 3 nematodes, Cosmocercoides variabilis, Oswaldocruzia pipiens, and Rhabdias americanus. Rhabdias americanus had the highest prevalence of helminths (73%); C. variabilis had the highest mean intensity (26+/-33 SD). Bufo hemiophrys represents a new host record for each species of helminth. |
