Abstract Nematodes of the genus Aplectana Railliet & Henry, 1916 are common parasites digestive tract amphibians and reptiles in Neotropical region. During a parasite survey on Boana boans (Linnaeus, 1758), we found specimens nematodes with characteristics. We observed set characteristics that differs species our study from its congeners, present describes new B. using light microscopy scanning electron microscopy. pella n. sp. has lateral alae somatic papillae males females; have equal...

Abstract Schrankiana are gastrointestinal parasites of anurans, distributed throughout Central and South America. formosula inconspicata some the most commonly reported species parasitising anurans from Brazil, morphological differences between them unclear. In present study, we redescribed S. based on a re-examination type series newly collected material frog Leptodactylus pentadactylus in state Amapá, Brazil. Additionally, re-examined , propose it as junior synonym . We provide detailed...

Abstract Cosmocercoides Wilkie, 1930 are gastrointestinal parasites commonly found in amphibians and reptiles, with 4 species reported from the Neotropical region. In present study, a new of , namely amapari n. sp. is described using integrated approaches such as light scanning microscopy, DNA sequencing mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene. The specimens were collected large intestine 3 hylid frogs Amapá, Brazil. can be distinguished its congeners by morphological traits,...

Parapharyngodon politoedi n. sp. is described here, based on specimens found in the large intestines of Osteocephalus taurinus from Caxiuanã National Forest, State Pará, Brazil. The new species assigned to presence non-embryonated eggs with sub-terminal opercula, when ovijector. belongs a group three pairs cloacal papillae and differs its congeners by morphometric aspects, such as length spicule, combination following morphological characters: ovaries never encircling oesophagus, tail shape...

The genus Serpinema Yeh, 1960 allocates parasitic nematodes of freshwater turtles distributed across the Oriental, Neotropical, and Palearctic regions. Five 10 valid species occur in Neotropical region, three have been recorded parasitizing Kinosternon scorpioides Linnaeus, 1766. In present work, we describe a new Serpinema, gastrointestinal parasite K. from Brazilian Amazon, using light scanning electron microscopy. pelliculatus n. sp. differs other by number distribution caudal papillae...

Leptodactylus fuscus is a small-sized species widely distributed across South America. However, so far, no works have been addressed to analyze if biotic and abiotic factors may influence the parasite community in this species. Thus, present work aims describe composition structure of evaluate environmental correlated distribution for host. We collected 36 L. specimens from February 2018 January 2019. The hosts were necropsied, parasites identified. To test effect variables (temperature,...
