Using helminths for analysis of faunogenesis of amphibians of the Volga basin

The possibility of using helminths to analyze the faunogenesis of amphibians in the Volga River basin is considered, using geographically isolated subspecies of the green toad Bufotes viridis (Laurenti, 1768) as an example. A depleted helminth composition was established in the “western” subspecies B. v. viridis (Laurenti, 1768); the presence of cestodes and acanthocephalans was noted in the “eastern” subspecies B. v. sitibundus (Pallas, 1771) only.

Materials for the helminthofauna of the green toad Bufotes viridis (Anura, Amphibian) in the Republic of Dagestan

The helminth community of the Green toad Bufotes viridis (Laurenti, 1768) from the population inhabiting the Caspian basin on the territory of the Republic of Dagestan is characterized. The study was carried out according to the method of full helminthological autopsy. Six species of helminths belonging to two types have been registered: Nematoda (4) and Acanthocephala (2).
