Louis Heyns Du Preez (born 9 July 1962) is a South African professor of zoology who specialises in parasitology and herpetology at the North-West University.[1] Du Preez is best known for his research on South African frog species, writing a widely used wildlife guide for the frogs of Southern Africa, and contributions to global parasitology with special focus studies on polystome worms.[2][3] His contributions to polystome research have led to a recently discovered Malagasy frog species, Blommersia dupreezi[4], being named in his honour.[5][6]
