Agricultural contaminants can have devastating impacts on amphibian survival and development, particularly considering their sensitivity to environmental perturbation. However, it is commonly overlooked that amphibians are infected with various parasites that can influence the overall health of the animal when exposed to a stressful environment. We investigated the interaction of agriculture and parasitism on the health of bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana) in the field. Nine physiological and immunological biomarkers were related to naturally acquired parasite infections, along a gradient of agricultural activity. Most health biomarkers were affected by agriculture, parasitism, or both. Although bullfrogs residing in agricultural areas were infe...
