Abstract
Four new amphibian trypanosomes, Trypanosoma midaii, Trypanosoma ampan ense, Trypanosoma maleisiense, and Trypanosoma bulat were described in the blood of a Malaysian frog, Rana blythi from Peninsular Malaysia a nd Sarawak. We examined 190 individuals of the frog and in addition to four new species, we also detected Trypanosoma rotatorium-type and Tr ypanosoma chattoni-type. The prevalence of all six species of trypanos omes in R. blythi in Malaysia was summarized and discussed.
