Seventy specimens of Hypsiboas albopunctatus (Anura: Hylidae) were collected and surveyed for endoparasites in Brasilia, Brazil at the end of the rainy season (February and March) in 2005. Sixteen males (22.86%) were infected by Rhabdias sp., Aplectana sp., Cosmocerca sp., and Falcaustra mascula. Rhabdias sp., a lung parasite, presented the highest prevalence (8.57%), mean intensity of infestation (1.333), and mean abundance (0.114). Moreover, this is the first report of a rhabdiasid nematode in the Hylidae in Brazil. The intestinal parasites, Cosmocerca sp. and Aplectana sp., had a similar prevalence (5.71%), but the former presented a higher mean intensity of infestation and mean abundance. The behavior and food habits of amphibians are responsible for the differences in their helminthofauna, and this study presents four new records of nematodes in H. albopunctatus.

Forty-three specimens of Leptodactylus podicipinus (Anura: Leptodactylidae) were collected in the south-eastern Pantanal, municipality of Corumba, State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil in February and July 2007, and examined for endoparasites. Forty (93%) specimens were infected with at least one helminth species. The predominant parasites were nematodes (Aplectana sp., Cosmocerca podicipinus, Oswaldocruzia lopesi, Physalopteroides venancioi, Rhabdias sp.), but the trematode Catadiscus propinquus also showed high prevalence. The trematodes Infidum infidum and Travtrema stenocotyle were also found, but in only one specimen. Adult frogs showed higher parasite diversity than subadults. Leptodactylus podicipinus was preferentially infected by direct life-cycle parasites and was reported as a new host record for seven helminth species.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the frequency of rhabdiasid nematodes in recently captured Crotalus durissus terrificus snakes from São Paulo State, Brazil. Fifty snakes (34 males and 16 females) were studied and each one was evaluated for the presence of that nematode at the moment of receipt at the Institution and after 90 days of quarantine inside individual cages. Tracheopulmonary washes were examined. Snakes that died during quarantine underwent necropsy and lung examination. Analysis of the results obtained at the two evaluation times (0 and 90 days), in addition to the data obtained during necropsies, showed that 44% (18 males and 4 females) of the C. d. terrificus snakes were naturally infected by rhabdiasid nematodes. These data demonstrate the parasitism level in natural conditions and are important for the sanitary handling of these reptiles in captivity.

From November 2009 to January 2010 we collected 22 specimens of Physalaemus cuvieri from a preserved area (State Park of Serra do Mar - Núcleo Santa Virginia, São Paulo State, Brazil) and 21 specimens from a disturbed area with habitat fragmentation (rural areas – São Luis do Paraitinga municipality, São Paulo State, Brazil) to compare the helminth fauna associated to this anuro species. The helminth fauna is composed by the nematodes of family Cosmocercidae, Physaloptera sp. and Rhabdias sp. as well as Acanthocephalus saopaulensis in the individuals from the preserved area; the individuals from the fragmented area also presented nematodes of family Cosmocercidae, Physaloptera sp. and Rhabdias sp. as well as Oswaldocruzia subauricularis and the monogenea Polystoma cuvieri. Prevalence, mean intensity of infection, mean abundance, mean richness, importance index (IE) and Dominance frequency were calculated in both localities, but there was no statistical diference. The diversity of helminth species was calculated by Shannon, Brillouin and Berger-Parked index, and by using Shannon diversity t-test we compared helminths diversity associated with anfibian from this two localities

A helmintofauna tem papel central no ecossistema, pois afeta a ecologia, evolução, crescimento e regulação da população de hospedeiros e, consequentemente, toda a biodiversidade. Neste estudo foram selecionados anuros pertencentes a uma guilda, de acordo com o modo reprodutivo e sítio de vocalização, e foi estudada a supracomunidade de parasitas associadas a estes anfíbios. Em janeiro de 2009 foram coletados 60 anuros no Pantanal Sul- Matogrossense, sub-região Miranda-Abobral no município de Corumbá, MS. As espécies de anuros coletadas foram Rhinella granulosa, R. schineideri, Pseudis paradoxa, P. limellum, Pleurodema fuscomaculata e Physalaemus albonotatus. Os anuros foram necropsiados e analisados quanto à presença de helmintos. Dezesseis espécies de helmintos foram identificadas em 50 indivíduos hospedeiros (prevalência total = 83,3%). Dentre os parasitas foram encontradas três espécies de trematódeos (Catadiscus marinholutzi, Catadiscus propinquus e Glypthelmins palmipedis), uma espécie de cestoda, Cylindrotaenia americana, dez espécies de nematóides (Aplectana sp., Contracecum sp.,Cosmocerca podicipinus, Cosmocercidae, Falcaustra mascula, Physaloptera sp., Ochoterenella sp., Oswaldocruzia subauricularis, Physalopteroides venancioi sp. e Rhabdias sp.) e cistos de acantocéfalo. Os trematódeos foram encontrados apenas em P. paradoxa e P. albonotatus, enquanto C. americana foi encontrada apenas em P. fuscomaculata. As espécies Aplectana sp. e Falcaustra máscula foi encontrada apenas em R. schineideri. O único indivíduo encontrado em P. limellum foi da espécie Physalopteroides venancoi. As suprapopulações de parasitas se mostraram mais agregadas em R. granulosa e P. paradoxa, onde seus hábitos de vida e hábitos alimentares podem influenciar na comunidade parasitária. Logo o tamanho do hospedeiro pode influenciar na sua ...(Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

The helminth fauna of twenty-five Hypsiboas raniceps (Anura, Hylidae) specimens collected in the pantanal wetland, municipality of Corumbá, Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil was studied. Twenty (80%) specimens were parasitized with at least one helminth species. The helminth fauda is composed by the nematodes Oswaldocruzia mazzai, Cosmocerca podicipinus and Physalopteroides venancioi beyond the no identified species of the genus Rhabdias, Physaloptera and Raillietnema and the family Cosmocercidae. Cysts and larvae of nematodes were also found. Catadiscus propinquus and diplostomid metacercariae were the recovered trematodes

Este estudo analisou a helmintofauna presente no anfíbio anuro Thoropa taophora coletados em uma ilha do Estado de São Paulo. Foram necropsiados 16 hospedeiros e recuperados 226 parasitas, todos nematóides, pertencentes a quatro taxa de helmintos: Physaloptera sp. (Physalopteridae), encontrados no estômago; Rhabdias sp. (Rhabdiasidae), encontrados no pulmão; Oswaldocruzia sp. (Molineidae), no intestino delgado; nematóides da família Cosmocercidae, no intestino delgado e intestino grosso e uma larva de parasita identificado apenas como pertencente à Classe Nematoda. A prevalência total foi 81,25%, de animais parasitados
