\"IMG_1318\"<\/p>\n

The intestinal helminths of most species of amphibians, especially frogs, are reasonably well known in most regions of the world. In addition, many amphibians can be cultured in the laboratory and many of the life cycles of amphibian endohelminths have been described, which makes\u00a0them good candidates for ecological studies.\u00a0We have often used\u00a0various amphibians\u00a0as models to study host-parasite population dynamics, community structure and\u00a0other various ecological questions. These projects are considered complete at this time, however if you are interested in a new collaboration, please contact me<\/a>.<\/p>\n
