This project examined the effects of pesticides and agricultural practices on parasites of juvenile leopard frogs, Lithobates pipiens (formerly known as Rana pipiens) in southwestern Quebec, Canada. Nine wetlands and two reference sites were sampled in 2004 and 2005, all of which were in various vicinities to agricultural lands and pesticide runoff.
All data are a part subject of a publication containing method details, full QA/QC, interpretation and conclusions: King, K. C., McLaughlin, J. D., Gendron, A. D., Pauli, B. D., Giroux, I., Rondeau, B., Boily, M., Juneau, P., & Marcogliese, D. J. (2007). Impacts of agriculture on the parasite communities of northern leopard frogs (Rana pipiens) in southern Quebec, Canada. Parasitology, 134(Pt.14), 2063–2080. doi.org/10.1017/S0031182007003277
