[Contribution to the study of Trematodes in Amphibians from the Cameroon (author's transl)].
Some 800 Amphibians representing 88 species were dissected for parasitic Trematodes of the digestive tract, the lungs and the bladder. 37 species of Anurans (244 specimens) harboured Trematodes. Nine species already found in Africa were observed. A new species, Haematoloechus ocellati n. sp. parasite of the lungs, is described. We propose the transfer of the species Haplometroides eburnense Maeder, 1969 into the genus Plagitura Holl, 1928. A large number of Anurans were examined for the first time in order to study Helminthes. This work brings in the new elements in the biogeography of african Trematodes Amphibians and increases the number of hosts for already mentioned species.
