039D87C253781B1E95A0FB4EFC43D6F8.taxon	discussion	Orneoascaris chrysanthemoides is a widespread nematode occurring in the stomach and intestine of frogs, lizards, turtles, snakes and a crocodile from East, West and Central Africa (Sprent 1985). The greatest number of helminths found (120) and the highest prevalence (75 %) were for O. chrysanthemoides in S. regularis. Orneoascaris chrysanthemoides in S. gutturalis is a new host record.	en	Goldberg, Stephen R., Bursey, Charles R., Kusamba, Chifundera, Mali, Franck M., Department, Eli Greenbaum, College, Whittier, Department, Usa, University, Pennsylvania State, Campus, Shenango, d’Hérpétologie, Usa Laboratoire, Biologie, Département de, Recherche, Centre de, Naturelles, Sciences (2021): Helminths from three common species of African Toads (Anura, Bufonidae, Sclerophrys).

039D87C253781B1895A0FA44FC4FD2CD.taxon	discussion	Aplectana macintoshii has a wide distribution in amphibians and reptiles from the Ethiopian, Australian, Indomalayan, Neotropical and Palaearctic Realms (Halajian et al. 2013). In view of the extensive distribution of this species, molecular examination of A. macintoshii from different sites is warranted to ascertain if more than one species exists. Aplectana macintoshii in S. pusilla is a new host record. Aplectana praeputialis was first described from female worms collected from a host at that time assigned to Bufo (current designation unknown, but likely the genus Sclerophrys) from East Africa (Baker 1980). Le Van Hoa (1962) described male and female worms from a host at that time assigned to the genus Bufo (current designation unknown, but likely the genus Sclerophrys) from the Congo as Aplectana praeputiale. Taylor (1924) reported A. praeputialis in S. regularis (as Bufo regularis) from West Africa. Aplectana praeputialis in S. gutturalis and S. pusilla represent new host records. Cosmocerca ornata is widespread and has been reported from the Ethiopian, Neotropical, Oriental and Palearctic Regions (see Halajian et al. 2013). In view of the extensive distribution of this species, molecular examination of C. ornata from different sites is warranted to ascertain if more than one species exists. A host list was provided by Yildirimhan et al. (2009). This list contained 36 anuran species, 1 species of salamander, 1 species of lizard and 1 species of snake. Cosmocerca ornata is already known to occur in S. regularis (Halajian et al. 2013).	en	Goldberg, Stephen R., Bursey, Charles R., Kusamba, Chifundera, Mali, Franck M., Department, Eli Greenbaum, College, Whittier, Department, Usa, University, Pennsylvania State, Campus, Shenango, d’Hérpétologie, Usa Laboratoire, Biologie, Département de, Recherche, Centre de, Naturelles, Sciences (2021): Helminths from three common species of African Toads (Anura, Bufonidae, Sclerophrys).

039D87C2537E1B18959EFDB1FBE6D0AD.taxon	discussion	The genus Meteterakis Karve, 1930 is known mainly from reptiles and amphibians from Asia and Oceania (Baker 1987). Meteterakis species have a direct life cycle (Anderson 2000). Infective eggs are ingested by the host (Anderson 2000). Because we recovered only a single specimen, we were unable to assign it to a species. To our knowledge, M. saotomensis Junker, Mariaux, Measey & Mutafchiev, 2015, described from Schistometopum thomense (Bocage 1873) (Gymnophiona) collected on São Tomé Island in the Gulf of Guinea is the only species known from the Ethiopian Region (Junker et al. 2015). Our specimen may represent an undescribed species of Meteterakis. Meteterakis sp. in S. gutturalis is a new host record.	en	Goldberg, Stephen R., Bursey, Charles R., Kusamba, Chifundera, Mali, Franck M., Department, Eli Greenbaum, College, Whittier, Department, Usa, University, Pennsylvania State, Campus, Shenango, d’Hérpétologie, Usa Laboratoire, Biologie, Département de, Recherche, Centre de, Naturelles, Sciences (2021): Helminths from three common species of African Toads (Anura, Bufonidae, Sclerophrys).

039D87C2537E1B18959EFC10FEF8D79F.taxon	discussion	Neofoleyellides boerewors was described by Netherlands et al. (2020) from S. gutturalis and S. garmani (Meek, 1897) from Sodwana, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The mosquitoes Uranotaenia (Pseudoficalbia) mashonaensis Theobold, 1901 and Uranotaenia (Pseudoficalbia) montana Ingram & de Meillon, 1927 are vectors (Netherlands et al. 2020). Neofoleyellides boerewors in S. regularis is a new host record.	en	Goldberg, Stephen R., Bursey, Charles R., Kusamba, Chifundera, Mali, Franck M., Department, Eli Greenbaum, College, Whittier, Department, Usa, University, Pennsylvania State, Campus, Shenango, d’Hérpétologie, Usa Laboratoire, Biologie, Département de, Recherche, Centre de, Naturelles, Sciences (2021): Helminths from three common species of African Toads (Anura, Bufonidae, Sclerophrys).

039D87C2537E1B18959EFB62FEF5D6CE.taxon	discussion	Chabaudus leberrei was redescribed from the pipid anurans Xenopus muelleri (Peters, 1844) and Xenopus laevis laevis (Daudin, 1802) from Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) by Jackson et al. (2001). It was originally described from the male (no female) as Gendria leberrei by Bain & Philippon (1969) from the frog Sclerophrys [as Bufo] regularis. Durette-Desset & Batchvarov (1974) published descriptions of both sexes.	en	Goldberg, Stephen R., Bursey, Charles R., Kusamba, Chifundera, Mali, Franck M., Department, Eli Greenbaum, College, Whittier, Department, Usa, University, Pennsylvania State, Campus, Shenango, d’Hérpétologie, Usa Laboratoire, Biologie, Département de, Recherche, Centre de, Naturelles, Sciences (2021): Helminths from three common species of African Toads (Anura, Bufonidae, Sclerophrys).

039D87C2537E1B18959EF9ACFD4ED4AE.taxon	discussion	Twenty six species of Rhabdias Stiles & Hassall, 1905 are known from Africa (Kuzmin & Tkach 2020). Rhabdias bufonis was recently reported in Sclerophrys [as Amietophrynus Frost et al., 2006] regularis in Egypt by Morsy et al. (2018). Rhabdias bufonis has heterogonic free-living stages that become reproducing adults which produce infective larvae (Baker 1979). Infective larvae of Rhabdias americanus Baker, 1978, R. ranae Walton, 1929 and presumably other species of Rhabdias in amphibians infect the host by skin penetration; larvae then reach the body cavity of the host and invade the lungs where they mature and produce eggs (Baker 1979). Rhabdias bufonis in S. pusilla is a new host record.	en	Goldberg, Stephen R., Bursey, Charles R., Kusamba, Chifundera, Mali, Franck M., Department, Eli Greenbaum, College, Whittier, Department, Usa, University, Pennsylvania State, Campus, Shenango, d’Hérpétologie, Usa Laboratoire, Biologie, Département de, Recherche, Centre de, Naturelles, Sciences (2021): Helminths from three common species of African Toads (Anura, Bufonidae, Sclerophrys).
