New host record, Sclerophrys regularis (Bufonidae), for Rhabdias africanus (Rhabdiasidae, Kuzmin, 2001) based on molecular and morphological evidence. [PDF]

Saudi J Biol Sci, 2022
With diversity of hosts range, most identified nematode species still lack the crucial connection between morphological and molecular make-up, which is important for precisely classifying the specimens. The present study provides the complete description of Rhabdias africanus in the new host record, Sclerophrys regularis.
