| helminth infracommunities in litoria genimaculata (amphibia:anura) from birthday creek, an upland rainforest stream in northern queensland, australia. | the helminth fauna of litoria genimaculata, a rainforest frog from northern queensland, was quantified from 53 adult male frogs collected at monthly intervals between april 1990 and march 1991. the helminth fauna of this species was depauperate (6 species: mesocoelium sp., parapolystoma bulliense, austraplectana sp., onchocercidae gen. sp., cosmocerca sp. and an unidentified nematode larva). the most commonly encountered species was p. bulliense, but the intestinal infracommunity was dominated b ... | 1996 | 9024888 |
| infection intensity and sampling locality affect batrachochytrium dendrobatidis distribution among body regions on green-eyed tree frogs litoria genimaculata. | batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (bd) causes chytridiomycosis, which has caused devastating amphibian population declines. little is known about the biology of bd on hosts, and techniques for diagnosing it on living and preserved animals are still evolving. we investigated the spatial distribution of bd on the integument of naturally infected australian hylid frogs litoria genimaculata at 4 rain forest localities in northern queensland, australia. we collected 555 samples by swabbing 111 individua ... | 2008 | 18998583 |
