The variability between localities shows that parasites with heteroxenous life cycles are more strongly associated with more pristine habitats. The variability in calculated indices (prevalence and mean intensity) also suggests that the occurrence of some of the parasites is affected by season, favouring higher infection rates during summer. This suggests that temperature has a direct role in the reproductive and developmental processes of these parasites. Neither length nor sex had an influence on the prevalence or intensity of parasites.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2478\/helm-2020-0027","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,17]],"date-time":"2020-08-17T15:00:56Z","timestamp":1597676456000},"page":"252-267","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Diversity of parasites from\n                    <i>Xenopus laevis<\/i>\n                    (Amphibia: Pipidae) and their seasonal rate of infection in selected habitats in the Limpopo Province, South Africa"],"prefix":"10.2478","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"E.
