Description
ASCARIDIDAE Baird, 1853
Orneoascaris chrysanthemoides is a widespread nematode occurring in the stomach and intestine of frogs, lizards, turtles, snakes and a crocodile from East, West and Central Africa (Sprent 1985). The greatest number of helminths found (120) and the highest prevalence (75 %) were for O. chrysanthemoides in S. regularis. Orneoascaris chrysanthemoides in S. gutturalis is a new host record.
