ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS INFLUENCING TREMATODE PREVALENCE IN GREY TREE FROG (HYLA VERSICOLOR) TADPOLES IN SOUTHERN ONTARIO
Abstract
The emergence or increased prevalence of various parasites may be linked to alterations in host-parasite interactions caused by environmental changes. We investigated prevalence of trematode infections in grey tree frog (Hyla versicolor) tadpoles from ponds in nonagricultural settings versus ponds adjacent to cornfields in southern Ontario.
