Filling the gaps on parasites of : Helminth community structure of (Anura: Hylidae) from the Brazilian Amazon.

is an arboreal anuran widely distributed in South America. However, there are no parasitological studies conducted on the species, resulting in a parasite fauna completely unknown. Thus, this study aims to characterize the parasitic community structure of in the municipality of Pedra Branca do Amapari, Amapá state, Amazon region, Brazil.

Two names, one species: redescription and phylogenetic position of Freitas, 1959 provides new insights into the evolutionary history of the Cosmocercidae.

are gastrointestinal parasites of anurans, distributed throughout Central and South America. and are some of the most commonly reported species parasitising anurans from Brazil, and the morphological differences between them are unclear. In the present study, we redescribed based on a re-examination of type series and newly collected material from the frog in the state of Amapá, Brazil.

n. sp. (Eucestoda: Proteocephalidae), a parasite of (Linnaeus, 1758), with redescription of (Santos and Rolas, 1973) from the Brazilian Amazon.

is the most diverse genus among proteocephalids, composed of species commonly found parasitizing snakes worldwide. However, the diversity of in the Neotropical region is still underestimated. This study describes n.

Morphological and molecular characterization of n. sp. (Nematoda: Cosmocercidae), parasitic in hylid frogs from the Brazilian Amazon.

Wilkie, 1930 are gastrointestinal parasites commonly found in amphibians and reptiles, with 4 species reported from the Neotropical region. In the present study, a new species of , namely n. sp.

A new species of Rhabdias (Nematoda: Rhabdiasidae), a lung parasite of Pristimantis chiastonotus (Anura: Strabomantidae) from the Brazilian Amazon: description and phylogenetic analyses.

Rhabdias Stiles and Hassal, 1905 comprises approximately 90 species of parasitic lung nematodes of amphibians and reptiles that have a wide distribution, with 21 species occurring in the Neotropics. In the present study, we describe Rhabdias waiapi n. sp.
