Abstract
ABSTRACT: Three species of Polypedates frogs (Rhacophoridae) from Borneo, Malaysia, were examined for helminths: Polypedates colletti (n = 5), P. macrotis (n = 8), and P. otilophus (n = 5). We found 3 species of Nematoda: Cosmocerca ornata, Raillietnema rhacophori, and Physalopteroides sp. Cosmocerca ornata was the only helminth infecting all 3 rhacophorid species. The most numerous helminth (too numerous to count) was R. rhacophori in P. otilophus. The 3 species of Polypedates are parasitized by generalist helminths that also infect other species of anurans. Four new host records are reported.
期刊介绍：
Comparative Parasitology (continuing the Journal of the Helminthological Society of Washington in its 67th volume) focuses on parasitological research of a comparative nature, emphasizing taxonomy, systematics, ecology, biogeography, evolution, faunal survey, and biological inventory within a morphological and/or molecular context. The scope of Comparative Parasitology extends to all parasitic faunas, including helminths, protistans and arthropods.
