Leech Parasitism in Pelophylax saharicus and Discoglossus pictus (Anura, Ranidae, Alytidae) in North-Eastern Algeria

Populations of two amphibian species, Pelophylax saharicus (Boulenger in Hartert, 1913) and Discoglossus pictus Otth, 1837, widely distributed in North-eastern Algeria, face multiple ecological threats, including parasitism by freshwater leeches.
