Abstrakt: | Fourteen Amietia sp. (Pyxicephalidae), from the Albertine Rift of Democratic Republic of the Congo were examined for helminths. Five species of Nematoda were found: Amphibiophilus chabaudi, Aplectana praeputialis, Falcaustra congoensis, Foleyellides duboisi and Orneoascaris chrysanthemoides . Amphibiophilus chabaudi was the most numerous nematode ( n = 40) with the highest prevalence (57 %). Five new host records are reported.
