COSMOCERCELLA HABERI (NEMATODA: ASCARIDIDA: COSMOCERCOIDEA) IN THE RIDGED TREEFROG, HYLA PLICATA (ANURA: HYLIDAE), FROM MEXICO

摘要

The ridged treefrog, Hyla plicata Brocchi, is known from the Mexican states of Distrito Federal, Durango, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Mexico, Michoacan, Morelos, Puebla, Tlaxcala and Veracruz and is typically collected from the banks of arroyos, pools or lakes in coniferous forests (Uribe-Pena et al. 1999). To the authors' knowledge, there are no reports of parasites from this anuran. The purpose of this note is to report H. plicata as a new host record for Cosmocercella haberi.
