Type: Wild type strain. Genetic modification: Unaltered.

This strain was taken from a wild population in Adipodoume, Ivory Coast, and has been shown to be diploid (Tymowska & Fishberg, 1973). Adult males and females were presented to Dr. K. Yoshizato (Institute for Amphibian Biology at that time) in 1998 by Drs. D. Rungger and H.R. Kobel from Université de Genève.
