Helminth fauna of Leptodactylus syphax (Anura: Leptodactylidae) from Caatinga biome, northeastern Brazil

Abstract: Leptodactylus syphax is distributed in central, southeastern and northeastern Brazil, eastern Bolivia and southern Paraguay, occupying open areas and rock outcrops, in rock cavities and termite burrows. We collected 21 frogs from the Caatinga region of the state of Ceará, northeastern Brazil, and 7,021 helminths were recovered from 18 of these hosts (overall prevalence = 85.7%). Six helminth taxa were recovered, as follows: Aplectana membranosa (n = 3,756); Schrankiana formosula (n = 3,176); larvae of Physalop… Show more

“…Species of the genus Aplectana are usually found infecting the large intestine of reptiles and amphibians, have a direct life cycle, and actively infect their hosts (Travassos 1931, Anderson 2000, Campião et al 2014, Lins et al 2017). This genus has been observed in four species of the Odontophrynidae family: Proceratophrys tupinamba and P. boiei, infected by A. delirae Fabio, 1971(Boquimpani-Freitas et al 2001, Klaion et al 2011, and P. cristiceps (Silva et al 2019, Sampaio et al 2020 and Odontophrynus americanus Duméril & Bibron, 1841, infected by A. membranosa (Lent & Freitas 1948) (Mcalpine 1997).…”

Additionally, A. membranosa females produce large amounts of infective larvae in the environment, increasing infection rates (Lins et al 2017).…”

“…Nevertheless, considering the distribution records of the P. pocoto frog, which is mainly found in the Caatinga domain (Silva et al ., 2017) and the results of helminth records associated with amphibians of other species in the biome (Teles et al, 2014, 2015; 2018a, b; Araujo-Filho et al, 2015; Lins et al, 2017; Alcantara et al, 2018; Müller et al, 2018; Silva et al, 2018; Amorim et al, 2019; Oliveira et al, 2019; Madelaire et al, 2020), we suggest the potential endemism of Rhabdias pocoto n. sp. in this biome, and considering the unique morphological character and specificity for the right lung of the host, suggest that the new taxon may have strict specificity for this species of host or host family.…”

“…Na América do Sul, A. membranosa já foi descrita parasitando várias espécies do gênero Leptodactylus como: L. latrans, L. lineatus, L. mystaceus, L. pentadactylus, L. podicipinus, L. rugosus, L. syphax e L. vastus (VICENTE et al, 1991;FREED, 2010FREED, , 2010aFREED, , 2010dFORSTER, 2017;LINS, 2017). Forster (2017) analisou 65 indivíduos de L. podicipinus registrando uma intensidade média de 29,3, superior ao nosso trabalho, visto que a quantidade encontrada de A. membranosa, 293, ser também superior.…”

“…Forster (2017) analisou 65 indivíduos de L. podicipinus registrando uma intensidade média de 29,3, superior ao nosso trabalho, visto que a quantidade encontrada de A. membranosa, 293, ser também superior. Lins (2017), realizando análise em 21 indivíduos de L. syphax registrou prevalência de 71,4%, valores muito superiores aos nossos, também devido ao número amostral de A. membranosa que para esse hospedeiro foi 3.756 espécimes. Esses valores muito superiores podem ser pela interferência das condições ambientais, podendo ter influenciado na grande quantidade de larvas infectantes no ambiente.…”
