Abstract

Two species of bufonid frogs from Borneo were examined for helminths: Phrynoidis juxtasper (n = 5), and Ingerophrynus divergens (n = 4). We found 2 species of Nematoda, Cosmocerca ornata and Seuratascaris numidica, and 1 species of Acanthocephala, Pseudoacanthocephalus bufonis. Seuratascaris numidica was the only helminth infecting both bufonid species. The most numerous helminth (n = 15) was S. numidica in P. juxtasper. The 2 species of Bufonidae are parasitized by generalist helminths that also infect other species of anurans. Four new host records are reported.
