Gastrointestinal Helminths of the Marshland Frog, Fejervarya limnocharis (Anura: Ranidae), from Taiwan, R.O.C.

摘要

Eight Fejervarya limnocharis from southwestern Taiwan were examined for helminths. Two species of Nematoda, Cosmocerca ornata and Oswaldocruzia hoepplii;1 species of Acanthocephala, Pseudoacanthocephalus bufonis, were found. A survey of helminths infecting other populations of F. limnocharis indicates that this frog is infected by generalist helminths that also infect a variety of other anurans. Taiwan is a new locality record for P. bufonis. ^g>Cosmocerca ornata, Fejervarya limnocharis, Formosa, helminths, Oswaldocruzia hoepplii, marshland frog, Pseudoacanthocephalus bufonis, Taiwan.
