The prevalence 26.7% and mean intensity ± 1 SD (1.34 ± 0.99) of infection were low. There were no significant differences between sexes of amphibians and prevalence, number of nematodes and mean intensity (P > 0.05). In females and male frogs the intensity of infection did not have any significant relationship with either length or with weight (P > 0.05). Prevalences were highest during summer and spring and were low in the periods of dry conditions, whereas, mean intensity did not change appreciably throughout the months. Sex ratios of C. podicipinus were significantly different (P < 0.05) from the expected 1.00:1.00 ratio. The lungs were parasited only by males and the intestine was parasitized by both sexes of nematodes. The present study contributes for the first time data about seasonal occurrence, nematode sex ratios and infections by organs in an environment disturbed by agricultural activity.
