摘要: Sixty-nine subdesert toads, Amietophrynus (Bufo) xeros, were collected in Shendi, Sudan, from August to November 2014, and examined for the first time presence of internal helminth parasites. Sixty-seven (97.1%) toads found infected with one or more species including, four Nematoda: Aplectana macintoshii, Rhabdias bufonis, Strongyloides prokopici, Oswaldocruzia sp.; Trematoda: Mesocoelium Cestoda: Lanfrediella sp. A higher prevalence intensity infection was male compared females, old harbor a when younger ones. However, neither these differences statistically significant. In addition, there no significant correlations between gender either any species. Likewise, not significantly correlated snout-vent length toads.
