Abstract
Of 104 Hyla japonica examined, 38 (37% prevalence) harbored helminths. The cestode Cylindrotaenia japonica (prevalence 11%, mean intensity 2 .5) and the nematodes Cosmocerca japonica (prevalence 20%, mean intens ity 2. 1) and Oswaldocruzia insulae (8% prevalence, 1.9 mean intensity ) were found. Oswaldocruzia insulae in Hyla japonica represents a new host record.
