| small frogs get their worms first: the role of nonodonate arthropods in the recruitment of haematoloechus coloradensis and haematoloechus complexus in newly metamorphosed northern leopard frogs, rana pipiens, and woodhouse's toads, bufo woodhousii. | studies on the life cycles and epizootiology of north american frog lung flukes indicate that most species utilize odonates as second intermediate hosts; adult frogs become infected by ingesting odonate intermediate hosts. newly metamorphosed frogs are rarely infected with these parasites, predominantly because they are gape-limited predators that cannot feed on large intermediate hosts such as dragonflies. we examined the role of the frog diet and potential intermediate hosts in the recruitment ... | 2007 | 17539412 |
