“…This species is a member of a family that characteristically parasitizes amphibians and reptiles m Australia and South East Asia. One species, however, has been reported from B. typhonuis in Peru (see Durette-Desset et al 1994). Despite this, it is more probable that J. pearsoni was acquired by the toad since its arrival in Australia as its closest relative occurs in lizards (Egernia kintorei) in Australia.…”

The impact of introducing animals into an established ecosystem can be directly observed through predator-prey and competition interactions. The impact of animals via more obscure relationships, such as the host-parasite relationship, are generally not considered. The cane toad Bufo marinus (Linnaeus) was introduced to Australia in 1935. Despite intensive research into many aspects ofthe biology ofthe toad, there has been no systematic survey ofthe parasite fauna ofB. marinus in Australia. It is unknown exactly what parasites the toad may have introduced to Australia and also the range of parasites that may have adapted to the toad from native fauna since its introduction. The provisional conclusion fi-om this review is that all the helminth parasites so far recorded from B. marinus in Australia have been acquired from local hosts. The interaction of toads and nativa fatma via their parasites remains unknown.

“…Vulva postequatorial, situated at 6.5-13.7 (9.8) [9.7] Remarks Amphibiophilus bialatus n. sp. belongs to the genus Amphibiophilus due to the presence of two circles of labial papillae, a cephalic vesicle, a buccal capsule with a well-developed oesophageal tooth, a symmetrical synlophe, simple spicules, a gubernaculum, and a caudal bursa of the 2-3 type (Skrjabin, 1916;Durette-Desset, 1985;Durette-Desset et al, 1994). Amphibiophilus bialatus n. sp.…”

Nematodes of the genus Amphibiophilus Skrjabin, 1916 are a small group of parasites restricted to pyxicephalid frogs in southern Africa. In the present study, the new species A. bialatus parasitising the clicking stream frog Strongylopus grayii (Smith) as well as two forms parasitising the common river frog Amietia delalandii (Duméril & Bibron) from two distant localities are described. Amphibiophilus bialatus n. sp. clearly differs from the remaining species of the genus by having wide cervical alae, the dorsal oesophageal tooth not reaching the oral opening, and the presence of extra processes on the spicules. Specimens parasitising Am. delalandii in Mpumalanga Province and Limpopo Province, South Africa, differed from other species and from each other in the shape of the gubernaculum, though were almost identical in other characters. Based on morphological and molecular data, specimens from two localities were assigned to Amphibiophilus sp. 1 and Amphibiophilus sp. 2. Pairwise analyses of ITS-28S and cox1 gene fragments are presented for four Amphibiophilus spp.This article was registered in the Official Register of Zoological Nomenclature (ZooBank) as urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub: urn:lsid: zoobank.org:pub:A142B996-E33E-4BC0-A4BB-8DDCCD908F 88.
