The common African toad (Bufo regularis) has been used for several things and served
different purposes including being a good source of protein for humans in some parts of
Africa and Asia.Various studies have been carried out on amphibians in and outside
Africa but with little work done on its parasitofauna. An investigation of the
endoparasites of the common African toad (Bufo regularis) in the wild from different
sites in Ibadan, southwest Nigeria was undertaken. With the use of coprological
methods of floatation and sedimentation, two nematodes were identified in male and
female toads. These include Kalicephalus spp,and Strongyloides stercoralis. Ascaridoid
spp adults were seen on examination of worms passed out with faeces by the toads in
the laboratory. This may be the first report of Kalicephalus and Strongyloides spp in
toads in Nigeria and this work has added to the understanding of the parasite fauna of
Bufo regularis in Nigeria.
