Ptychadena trinodis (Boettger, 1881)
In Burkino Faso, P. trinodis is one of many frog species that are traded, and it is among the top five frog species consumed as a source of animal protein. Frogs are an integral part of the economy in areas with large frog populations because villagers are employed to catch and prepare frogs, and they are an "important international trading item." Aside from their value as an essential food source, they may also be used for cultural reasons and as traditional medicine in areas where Western medicine is not available (Mohneke, 2010).
