摘 要：A total of 30 specimens of Skittering frog(Euphlyctis cyanophlyctis),(Anura:Dicroglossidae)were captured from seven selected localities in the Dir Lower,Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan from April to August *** were euthanized with the help of Chloroform(CHcl3)*** biometry of each specimen was measured,then dissected to examine for helminth parasites and *** helminths were isolated,washed with normal saline at room temperature,and then preserved in 70%GL ethyl *** on,the parasites were classified and studied under the electric compound *** a total of 30 specimens,17(56.66%)were found infected with 62 helminths parasites belongs to four different *** four species,one was Cestodes Nematotaenia dispar species and remaining three were Nematodes *** species,Cosmocercoides(Raillietnema species)and Strongyloides *** with a percentage of 56.45%was the most *** the total of 30 specimens’alimentary canal,10 were found empty,containing nothing while in remaining 20 were full of 9 types of food materials which included insects ***,Beetles,Wasps,Spiders,Mosquito larvae and cockroaches,and non-living things like stone pebbles and mollusks *** the serial,flies and snails were in the lowest prevalence and ants were recorded the most important component of the frog *** the insects,ants have occurred in higher prevalence 44.50%and flies 1.15%with the lowest *** results emphasize the significance of further expected studies in the Dir Lower to get a good understanding of the helminth parasites with the ecological relations of their hosts.
