Abstract
A total of 33 agile frogs (Rana dalmatina) were collected from 7 localities in Edirne, Bursa and AdapazarA +/- Provinces (Northwest of Turkey), between 1987-2007 and examined for the first time for helminths. R. dalmatina harbored one species of Monogenea (Polystoma sp.), 3 species of Digenea (Diplodiscus subclavatus, Pleurogenoides medians, and Pleurogenes claviger), 4 species of Nematoda (Rhabdias bufonis, Oswaldocruzia filiformis, Cosmocerca ornata, and Oxysomatium brevicaudatum) and one species of Acanthocephala (Acanthocephalus ranae). All helminths represent new host records for Rana dalmatina in Turkey.
