Mauritanian Toad (Sclerophrys mauritanica) is a toad that is native to the Atlas Mountains of Algeria and extends into Morocco and Tunisia. No records of established nonnative populations were found, therefore impacts of introductions are unknown. No human use or trade information was found. The History of Invasiveness is therefore classified as No Known Nonnative Population. The fungus causing chytridiomycosis has been detected in S. mauritanica, although the species susceptibility to the disease is unknown. The Overall Climate Match within the contiguous United States was High, with much of the West recording a high match. The Certainty of Assessment is Low due to lack of introduction information outside of its native range and information on impacts of introductions. The Overall Risk Assessment Category is Uncertain.
