“…This species has been recorded parasitizing many hosts in South America, such as Ecuador (Dyer & Altig, 1976;Mcallister et al, 2010a), Guiana (Mcallister et al, 2010b) and Peru (Bursey et al, 2001). In Brazil, it was reported by Travassos (1925) Oswaldocruzia mazzai infect several anurans (e.g., Campião et al, 2014;Teles et al, 2015;Alcantara et al, 2018;Oliveira et al, 2019), but we reported for the first time the infection of this nematode in the genus Odontophrynus. The great host diversity recorded for O. mazzai is related to the direct life cycle and the simple mode of transmission that can occur by ingestion of eggs or larval penetration of the host's skin (Anderson, 2000).…”

La familia Odontophrynidae comprende 40 especies de anuros ampliamente distribuidas en América del Sur, desde Brasil hasta Argentina y Paraguay. Odontophrynus carvalhoi Savage & Cei, 1965, especie de tamaño mediano, hábitos terrestres y reproducción explosiva, es uno de los representantes de esta familia. A pesar de su extensa distribución, los datos sobre su historia natural son limitados, y la información publicada se centra principalmente en patrones de actividad, dieta y comportamiento defensivo. En este estudio, presentamos datos sobre la composición y patrones de infección de endoparásitos asociados con O. carvalhoi en un bosque relicto en el estado brasileño de Ceará. La comunidad de parásitos estuvo compuesta por 11 especies, siendo Aplectana hylambatis (76,67%) y Oswaldocruzia mazzai (79,49%) las más prevalentes. Además, reportamos nuevas ocurrencias de especies de parásitos para O. carvalhoi, contribuyendo al conocimiento de la fauna parasitaria en la región Neotropical. Estos hallazgos subrayan la importancia de la investigación parasitológica para una comprensión integral de la ecología y biología de esta especie de anfibio.

With the objective of identifying the helminths of Paroaria coronata, 40 birds were necropsied, and their organs and contents were examined. The parasites were preserved in 70 masculineGL alcohol and prepared for identification using standard techniques. The helminth fauna found in P. coronata were Aproctella carinii, Dispharynx nasuta, Capillaria sp., Diplotriaena sp., Tanaisia oviaspera, Tanaisia valida, Tanaisia sp., Prosthogonimus ovatus, Orthoskrjabinia sp., and Mediorhynchus sp., with Nematoda being most represented, occurring in 22.5% of the birds. Besides being the first record of these helminths in P. coronata, this work also extends the area of occurrence of Orthoskrjabinia sp. for Brazil and of A. carinii, Diplotriaena sp., T. oviaspera, T. valida, and Mediorhynchus sp. for the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Of the various groups of Helminths, Acanthocephala has received the least attention from Helminthologists; so much so that even its classification is based on very arbitrary characters. This may partly be due to the general belief that infestation with these worms is very rare. The earlier accounts, such as that of Diesing (1851), which deals with a number of species from fishes, giving brief descriptions of their external morphology and a few generalised drawings, describe the various species under a single genus,Echinorhynchus.
