Table 1. Prevalence (%), mean intensity (MI)/ mean abundance (MA) ± standard deviation (SD), total number (n) of parasites, infection site, dispersion index (Di), dominance index (d) and Importance index (I) of the helminth taxa found parasitizing four amphibian species from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Li= large intestine, Lu= lungs, Si= small intestine.
