Helminth parasite communities of two Physalaemus cuvieri Fitzinger, 1826 (Anura: Leiuperidae) populations under different conditions of habitat integrity in the Atlantic Rain Forest of Brazil
(Int Inst Ecology, 2015-11-01)
Adults of Physalaemus cuvieri were collected and necropsied between November 2009 and January 2010. This was carried out in order to report and compare the helminth fauna associated with two populations of this anuran ...
Helminth community structure of 13 species of anurans from Atlantic rainforest remnants, Brazil
(2018-07-01)
This study aimed to evaluate the community composition and structure of the helminths found in 13 anuran species, and to evaluate whether this parasite community is determined by anuran characteristics. We found that the ...
Species affinity and infracommunity ordination of helminths of Leptodactylus chaquensis (Anura: Leptodactylidae) in two contrasting environments from Northeastern Argentina
(American Society of Parasitologists, 2006-06)
One hundred seventy-two frogs (Leptodactylus chaquensis) were collected from November 2002 to November 2003, in agricultural (n = 132) and nonagricultural (n = 40) areas. Both sites are near the city of Corrientes, Argentina. ...
Helminth parasite communities of allopatric populations of the frog Leptodactylus podicipinus from Pantanal, Brazil
(Cambridge University Press, 2014-03-01)
Several factors may influence the structure of parasite communities in amphibian hosts. In this study, we describe the helminth parasites of three allopatric populations of the frog Leptodactylus podicipinus and test whether ...
Helminth community from Azara's grass mouse (Akodon azarae) in three habitats with different land use in farming systems of Argentina
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-03)
In the Pampa region of Argentina, farming activities have been performed since the beginning of the 20th century, but in the 1990s, land-use patterns rapidly changed towards intensive agriculture and poultry breeding. This ...
Living apart and having similar trouble: Are frog helminth parasites determined by the host or by the habitat?
(2016-09-12)
Sympatric hosts are exposed to similar ecological conditions, particularly if they are closely related phylogenetically and share some physiological and behavioral traits. We studied the sympatric frogs Leptodactylus ...
