Abstract

Forty lemon-yellow tree frogs, Hyla savignyi, collected from Kirikhan, Turkey (25 in April 2009, 15 in April 2010), were examined for helminths, and 21 frogs were found to be infected. One species of Monogenea (Polystoma integerrimum), 3 species of Digenea (Diplodiscus subclavatus, Halipegus kessleri, and Pleurogenoides medians), 1 species of Cestoda (Nematotaenia dispar), and 2 species of Nematoda (Aplectana brumpti and Cosmocerca commutata) were found. Hyla savignyi represents a new host record for Polystoma integerrimum, Diplodiscus subclavatus, Halipegus kessleri, Pleurogenoides medians, Aplectana brumpti, and Cosmocerca commutata.
Kırk tane limon yeşili ağaç kurbağası (Hyla savignyi) helmintleri için (25, Nisan 2009; 15, Nisan 2010), Kırıkhan’dan toplanmış ve incelenmiştir. Bunların 21 tanesinde parazit bulunmuştur. Bu parazitlerin biri Monogenea (Polystoma integerrimum), 3’ü Digenea (Diplodiscus subclavatus, Halipegus kessleri, Pleurogenoides medians), biri Cestoda (Nematotaenia dispar) ve ikisi Nematoda (Aplectana brumpti, Cosmocerca commutata)’ya aittir.
