“…and reptiles [3 records, generically referred as snakes, 2 for Drymobius bifossatus ( = Mastigodryas bifossatus (Raddi, 1820)], 1 for Herpetodryas sexcarinatus [incorrectly identified, being either Pseustes sexcarinatus (Wagler, 1824) or Chironius carinatus (Linnaeus, 1758)], both occurring in southeastern Brazil, and 1 for Ameiva ameiva (Linnaeus, 1758) (today considered a complex formed by many subspecies) as paratenic hosts. TORRES & PUGA (1996) and PUGA & TORRES (1999) recorded encysted cystacanths in paratenic hosts from Chile, which they identified as Centrorhynchus sp., although their drawings show that the acanthocephalans might belong to Sphaerirostris for having the proboscis with a spherical anterior portion and a larger number of hooks in the longitudinal rows.…”

Florida, USA to northern Argentina were found showing pigmentation dystrophy and harboring larval acanthocephalans. Photographic documentation of live and preserved, infected isopods is presented. Morphometric data and photomicrographs of the male, unencysted cystacanth specimen which allowed its placement in the genus Centrorhynchus Lühe, 1911 are presented. This is the first record of the phenomenon of pigmentation dystrophy in terrestrial isopod crustaceans, the first record of A. floridana infected by an acanthocephalan and the first record of a species of Centrorhynchus in a terrestrial isopod.]]>

The common lesser escuerzo, Odontophrynus americanus, from Corrientes, Argentina, was found to harbor 3 species of Nematodes: Rhabdias elegans, Cosmocerca podicipinus, and Cosmocerca parva. Cosmocerca podicipinus was the most prevalent nematode species (22.7%), whereas C. parva had the highest mean intensity of infection (5.5 6 2.12). These 3 nematode species are reported for the first time from O. americanus and members of the Cycloramphidae from Corrientes, Argentina.

Parasitological studies on helminths of amphibians in South America have increased in the past few years. Here, we present a list with summarized data published on helminths of South American amphibians from 1925 to 2012, including a list of helminth parasites, host species, and geographic records. We found 194 reports of helminths parasitizing 185 amphibian species from eleven countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Equador, French Guyana, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. Helminth biodiversity includes 278 parasite species of the groups Acanthocephala, Nematoda, Cestoda, Monogenea and Trematoda. A list of helminth parasite species per host, and references are also presented. This contribution aims to document the biodiversity of helminth parasites in South American amphibians, as well as identify gaps in our knowledge, which in turn may guide subsequent studies.
