Abstract
Odorranahosii and O.monjerai from Peninsular Malaysia were examined for endoparasites. Only Nematoda were found. For Odorranahosii, Amphibiocapillariabufonis, Cosmocercaornata and Abbreviata sp. (cysts) were found. For O.monjerai, A.bufonis and C.ornata were found. All are new host records.
Highlights
Odorrana hosii is known from southern Thailand, through the Malay Peninsula to Sumatra and throughout Borneo; it is nocturnal and occurs around the edges of rocky creeks or rivers (Grismer 2011)
We conducted a helminthological examination on five O. hosii and three O. monjerai from Peninsular Malaysia collected from 2004 to 2012 and deposited in the herpetology collection of La Sierra University (LSUHC), Riverside, California as: O. hosii LSUHC 6493, 7227, 10761 (Pahang State); LSUHC 9647 (Kedah State); LSUHC 8217 (Johor State) and O. monjerai LSUHC 10479, 10480, 10497 (Kedah State)
For O. hosii, one female each of Cosmocerca ornata was found in the large intestine of LSUHC 6493 and 8217
Summary
Odorrana hosii is known from southern Thailand, through the Malay Peninsula to Sumatra and throughout Borneo; it is nocturnal and occurs around the edges of rocky creeks or rivers (Grismer 2011). Amphibiocapillaria bufonis, Cosmocerca ornata, Abbreviata sp., new hosts, Peninsular Malaysia, prevalence Odorrana monjerai is known only from the type locality: Teroi River on Gunung Jerai, Kedah State, West Malaysia 5°47'N, 100°27'E) (Matsui and Jaafar 2006).
