Western chorus frogs, (Pseudacris triseriata), from eastern Alberta, Canada were examined for helminths. Two species of trematode (Apharyngostrigea pipientis and Choledocystus pennsylvaniensis), one species of cestode (Cylindrotaenia americana) and two species of nematode (Oswaldocruzia leidyi and Rhabdias ranae) were found. The western chorus frog represents a new host record for A. pipientis. Alberta, Canada, represents a new locality record for each species of helminth found in this study.
