“…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.…”

Rhabdias pocoto n. sp. is herein described from the lungs of the swamp frog Pseudopaludicola pocoto Magalhães, Loebmann, Nogueira, Kokubum, Baptista, Haddad & Garda, 2014, from the Caatinga biome in the state of Ceará, in north-eastern Brazil. The new species is characterized by a body that dilates posteriorly, six small lips (protuberances) and two rounded lateral expansions of cuticular inflation on the anterior end, each containing an amorphous gland-like structure inside and a short and conical tail. Additionally, molecular analysis and comparison of the partial mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I sequence of R. pocoto n. sp. revealed genetic divergence between the new species and the sequences of Rhabdias spp. previously deposited in GenBank. Phylogenetic analysis grouped the new taxon into the R. pseudosphaerocephala species complex + R. glaurungi clade. The new discovery represents the 19th species of Rhabdias spp. described in the Neotropical region, the ninth in Brazil and the first species of Rhabdias found parasitizing South American frogs of the genus Pseudopaludicola, as well as the first Caatinga biome species of Rhabdias.

“…According to Anderson (2000), parasites with direct life cycles have low specificity and simple mode of transmission that can occur through egg ingestion or larval penetration through the host skin. Moreover, R. spectans and O. mazzai have been recorded infecting several Brazilian anurans, including P. diplolister, Dermatonotus muelleri (Boettger, 1885), Leptodactylus latrans (Steffen, 1815), Rhinella crucifer (Wied Neuwied, 1821), Rhinella icterica (Spix, 1824), L. fuscus, L. mystaceus, Physalaemus albifrons, P. cicada, and P. cuvieri (Campião et al, 2014;Teles et al, 2015;Alcantara et al, 2018;Oliveira et al, 2019).…”

“…Actually, it has been reported in North and South America, Asia, and Europe in hosts of the families Bufonidae, Ranidae, Hylidae, Brachycephalidae, and Dendrobatidae (Goldberg & Bursey, 2008). In Brazil, there are records of this cestode species infecting R. icterica, Rhinella fernandezae (Gallardo, 1957), Ischnocnema guentheri (Steindachner, 1864), Hypsiboas prasinus (Burmeister, 1856) (Campião et al, 2014), Ischnocnema parva (Girard, 1853), Hylodes phyllodes Heyer & Cocroft, 1986(Aguiar et al, 2014, and P. cicada (Oliveira et al, 2019). Pleurodema diplolister is a new host recorded for C. americana.…”

“…Studies on amphibian parasites have increased in recent years (e.g. Campião et al, 2016a;Oliveira et al, 2019). However, information about the parasites of some amphibian groups is still scarce, and most of restricted to taxonomic descriptions or records of occurrence (Pinhão et al, 2009).…”

La diversidad de los helmintos en los grupos de huéspedes con gran diversidad de especies como los anfibios anuros siguen estando subrepresentados, especialmente en sitios con condiciones ambientales severas como las regiones áridas y semiáridas. Este conocimiento es necesario para comprender el papel de los parásitos en los diferentes niveles de la organización ecológica. Con el fin de evaluar la composición del parásito una taxocenosis de las especies de anuros, describir la riqueza y diversidad de los helmintos a nivel de componentes y de la infracomunidad; además de evaluar la influencia del tamaño del cuerpo en la abundancia y diversidad de los parásitos, se realizó este estudio. Los anuros huéspedes se recogieron en la Zona de Protección Ambiental (EPA) Bica do Ipu en el semiárido brasileño. Los huéspedes recolectados fueron sometidos a eutanasia y a una necropsia en busca de parásitos. En secuencia, se identificaron los helmintos y se realizaron las pruebas estadísticas. Un total de 15 especies de huéspedes compusieron este estudio y se recogieron 1.216 helmintos con abundancia media (MA) de 12,9 ± 3,38 y intensidad media de la infección (MII) de 25,84 ± 6,44. La riqueza media de helmintos fue de 2,3 ± 0,53 (rango = 6), y la diversidad de helmintos (H) fue de 1,36. La comunidad de componentes de helmintos que infectan a los anfibios huéspedes comprende 13 taxones: dos especies de cestodos, un acantocéfalo, un trematodo y nueve nematodos. El presente estudio contribuye al conocimiento de los helmintos que infectan a los anfibios de la Caatinga brasileña, así como a la comprensión de los patrones de diversidad de las infracomunidades parasitarias asociadas a los anfibios.
