摘要

The present study reports sparganosis in Minervarya pierrei (Dubois, 1975) from Jharkhand, India. While human cases of sparganosis have been documented in India, this study provides a confirmed record of this parasite in an amphibian host from the country. The parasites collected from the thigh muscles of the hosts were morphologically identified as belonging to the genus Spirometra. This finding expands the known host range of Spirometra in India and highlights the need for systematic screening of such infections in the natural environment and museum collections to assess the prevalence and transmission dynamics of sparganosis in Indian amphibian populations.
