From 19th-century mysteries to modern insights: untangling Aplectana membranosa from Brazilian anurans [PDF]
ParasitologyAplectana membranosa is a cosmocercid nematode that shows affinity with various amphibian and reptile hosts, being considered a generalist species. To date, no studies have investigated the influence of host and locality in the morphological variation of

Acquired and introduced macroparasites of the invasive Cuban treefrog, Osteopilus septentrionalis [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2015 Because shifts in host–parasite relationships can alter host populations, attention should be given to the parasites that introduced species take with them or acquire in their introduced range.
