Abstract
ABSTRACT: Two species of bufonid frogs from Borneo were examined for helminths: Phrynoidis juxtasper (n = 5), and Ingerophrynus divergens (n = 4). We found 2 species of Nematoda, Cosmocerca ornata and Seuratascaris numidica, and 1 species of Acanthocephala, Pseudoacanthocephalus bufonis. Seuratascaris numidica was the only helminth infecting both bufonid species. The most numerous helminth (n = 15) was S. numidica in P. juxtasper. The 2 species of Bufonidae 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.
