Helminths infecting the Bom Jardim toad Rhinella dapsilis from an Atlantic forest enclave at northeastern Brazil
Rhinella dapsilis (Myers and Carvalho, 1945) is widespread in Amazonia, from Colombia to Brazil. Despite its huge distribution, information on basic biological aspects is scarce, even more regarding helminths parasites. Herein, we present data on helminth infecting R. dapsilis from an Atlantic Fores...

| Sumario: | Rhinella dapsilis (Myers and Carvalho, 1945) is widespread in Amazonia, from Colombia to Brazil. Despite its huge distribution, information on basic biological aspects is scarce, even more regarding helminths parasites. Herein, we present data on helminth infecting R. dapsilis from an Atlantic Forest enclave from Northeastern Brazil. Ten taxa were found, being nine nematodes and one acanthocephalan, Cosmocercidae and Rhabdias sp. was the most prevalent taxa. We reported six new host records and expanded the knowledge about parasitism in Neotropical anurans. |
