Abstract
Forty-five giant toads, Bufo marinus, from Bermuda were examined for h elminths. Two nematode species were found: Aplectana sp. (87% prevalen ce) and Rhabdias fuelleborni (71% prevalence). One toad harbored the t rematode Mesocoelium monas (2% prevalence). Bermuda represents a new d istributional record for M. monas and R. fuellerborni.
