Studies of amphibian macroparasites are relevant for the investigation of parasite community ecology and disease dynamics. Here, the parasite communities of five anuran species (Hypsiboas raniceps, Phyllomeduza azurea, Pseudis paradoxa, Leptodactylus fuscus and Leptodactylus podicipinus) are described from two habitats with different levels of preservation (pasture versus nature reserve). Specifically, we used mixed-effect models to test whether helminth species richness, prevalence and abundance differ between the two host collection sites. A total of 120 anuran individuals and 25 helminth parasite taxa were collected. Helminth communities differed between collection sites and among host species. In general, helminth species richness, prevalence and abundance were higher in hosts collected in the pond from the nature reserve. In all, these data help fill the gap in parasite biodiversity knowledge in a changing area, within a sensitive group of vertebrate hosts.
对两栖动物大型寄生虫的研究与寄生虫群落生态学和疾病动态的调查相关。在此，描述了来自两个不同保护水平栖息地（牧场与自然保护区）的五种无尾目物种（黑头蛙、天蓝叶泡蛙、奇异多指节蟾、深色斑腿树蛙和蹼趾斑腿树蛙）的寄生虫群落。具体而言，我们使用混合效应模型来检验两个宿主采集地点之间蠕虫物种丰富度、感染率和丰度是否存在差异。共采集了120只无尾目个体和25个蠕虫寄生虫分类单元。蠕虫群落在采集地点之间以及宿主物种之间存在差异。总体而言，自然保护区池塘中采集的宿主的蠕虫物种丰富度、感染率和丰度更高。总之，这些数据有助于填补一个敏感脊椎动物宿主群体所在变化区域内寄生虫生物多样性知识的空白。
