Clinostomum attenuatum (Digenea) from the eye of Bufo marinus.
Two specimens of the cane toad, Bufo marinus, were found with single worm infestations of the eye. One worm was excysted in the eye chamber, the other still encysted in the choroid layer; both worms were identified as Clinostomum attenuatum. This finding is both a new host record and a new site of development for this amphibian parasite.
