“…Nematodes were cleared in glycerine or lactophenol, and examined as temporary mounts. Helminths were identified using Yamaguti (1961Yamaguti ( , 1963Yamaguti ( , 1975, Jones (1987), Anderson (2000), Gibson et al (2002), and Jones et al (2005). Specimens of various parasite species were deposited in the Helminthological Collection of the Centro de Ecología Aplicada del Litoral (CECOAL-CONICET), Corrientes City, Corrientes, Argentina (see Table 2).…”

The main goal of this study was to evaluate the relative influence of season, year of study, host body size, and host sex on abundance of helminth species parasitic in the frog Scinax nasicus. A total of 273 frogs was collected between December 2004 and November 2006 over all seasons in Corrientes City, Province of Corrientes, Argentina. Helminth community included 21 taxa, and was dominated particularly by larval trematodes. Infected frogs harboured a maximum of 7 species. Host sex and season played no significant effect in determining infracommunity parasite species abundance. Similarly, species richness was similar for both host sexes, and across time (year and season). However, occurrence of the parasites Opisthogonimus sp. 2 and Travtrema aff. stenocotyle greatly varied over time. Host body size was the main factor for determining infrapopulation structure of Centrorhynchus sp. Species richness was significantly and positively correlated with host body size. Strong associations were observed mainly between metacercariae of some species. The transmission strategies of parasites suggest that this hylid acquires infections by ingestion of infective larvae and through direct contact with larval parasites from aquatic and terrestrial habitats.

In addition, sexual dimorphism can also influence parasite intensity or species richness (McAlpine 1997); the larger sex might be more infected because greater host body size provides more surface area for colonization by parasites, i.e. greater probability of skin penetration by cercariae and larval nematodes. Several studies of parasite richness in relation to host body size support this concept (Dogiel 1964, Price 1980, Bell & Burt 1991, Gregory et al. 1996.Studies of the influence of biotic factors and external environment on the structure of helminth parasite communities in amphibians have provided important information, showing that anthropogenic perturbations, such as watershed or landscape alterations, can have simultaneous negative and positive effects on distribution, and number of helminth parasite species in infracommunities (Hamann et al. 2006a, McKenzie 2007, King et al. 2008, Marcogliese et al. 2009). Similarly, habitat use (e.g. aquatic, arboreal, terrestrial), relative vagility, feeding preference in terms of foraging behaviour, range of prey species, and host size are key factors determining parasite species richness (Aho 1990, McAlpine 1997, Kehr et al. 2000, Muzzall et al. 2001, Bolek & Coggins 2003, Hamann et al. 2006b, Yoder & Coggins 2007.Additionally, the effect of season on the parasite recruitment period, and the breeding season of the definitive host...

“…This would further suggest that the initial diversification of cyclophyllideans occurred in now extinct terrestrial saurians or synapsids during the early Mesozoic, with colonisation or co-evolution in early mammals and colonisation of amphibians after 225 mybp (see Dingus & Rowe, 1998). In this context, the basal cyclophyllideans are represented by the Mesocestoididae + Nematotaeniidae Lühe, 1910, the latter group having radi-ated in gondwanan anurans 180-200 mybp (Jones, 1987;. Consequently, the current distribution of these tapeworm taxa may be, in part, related to patterns of colonisation of mammals and birds and extinction of ancestral host lineages during the Mesozoic (Spasskii, 1993a,b;.…”

“…Cylindrotaenia allisonae was originally described from a single specimen taken from the intestine of the spotted sticky-toed gecko, Hoplodactylus maculatus Boulenger, 1885 collected on Stephens Island, New Zealand (Schmidt, 1980). It has been reported from H. maculatus from Ward Island and Turakirae, New Zealand, Bynoe's gecko, Heteronotia binoei (Gray, 1845) and the yellowbelly skink, Hemiergis peronii (Gray, 1831) from Australia, and L. lugubris from Hawaii and Rota (Jones, 1987;Goldberg and Bursey, 1997;Goldberg et al, 1998 ). Cylindrotaenia allisonae is a member of the Nematotaeniidae which are considered by Joyeux ( 1927) Oochoristica javaensis was originally described from G. mutilata, the Asian house gecko, Cosymbotus platyurus (Schneider, 1792) and H. frenatus collected in Java, Indonesia ( Kennedy et al, 1982).…”
