co-occurrence of haematoloechus complexus and rhabdias joaquinensis in the plains leopard frog from nebraska. | species of haematoloechus and rhabdias both are ubiquitous lung parasites of frogs, yet surprisingly little research has been conducted on the interactions between these worms. in a small nebraska stream, 256 rhabdias joaquinensis and 225 haematoloechus complexus were found in the lungs of lithobates (=rana) blairi. thirty-six of the 44 (82%) frogs were co-infected with h. complexus and r. joaquinensis whereas 5 (11%) frogs were infected with only 1 species and 3 (7%) frogs were uninfected. test ... | 2013 | 23116463 |
ecological factors responsible for the geographic distribution of rhabdias joaquinensis: where do lungworms infect anurans in nature? | the lungworm rhabdias joaquinensis (nematoda: rhabdiasidae) is a common parasite of anurans in eastern nebraska, yet absent from the same hosts in western nebraska. this study investigated the ecology of the lungworm's free-living stages that reside in host feces and surrounding soils to establish the worm's free-living niche in eastern nebraska. using a comparative method, this study also investigated the absence of lungworms in western nebraska's sandhills. soil composition, moisture, and temp ... | 2016 | 26666887 |
