In 1999, cane toads in Hawaii were found to be infested with the parasite Acanthocephalus bufonis. A study from EDP Open found that 97.9% of Hawaiian cane toads had the parasite present in their digestive systems, and showed a negative correlataion between the amount and presence of the parasite and the size of the cane toads themselves.
