Schrankiana chacoensis González and Hamann, 2014 .

Host and record: Leptodactylus bufonius Boulenger, 1894 (Ch) .

Site of infection: Large intestine.

Life cycle: Nematodes of this family have been found in amphibians, reptiles, mammals and fishes; third-stage larvae autoinfect the host. Their transmission from host to host in the majority of species is not understood (Anderson 2000). Langford et al. (2013) confirmed with experimental infections in lizards that Cyrtosomum penneri Gambino, 1957 is transferred only during host copulation.
