Rijn, 31-3-02-04 11 Reptilia, testudines, Gopherus agassizzi, infection, bacteria, Mycoplasma agassizii., URTD A long term study is currently being conducted on upper respiratory tract disease (URTD) in the desert tortoise, Gopherus agassizii to determine the etiologic agent and to elucidate the mechanism of pathogenesis. Clinically healthy desert tortoises and those with URTD were sacrificed and nasal cavity tissue was prepared for electron microscopy. Examination revealed all ill and the majority of the clinically healthy animals possessed pathological changes consistent with URTD. Inflammatory cells were observed near the luminal surface where mycoplasma's were attached to the apical membrane of both secretory and ciliated cells. Cytoadhesion was usually by generalized attachment to the cell surface. Mycoplasmal colonization of the nasal cavity appeared to be regional, though the lesions produced did not. Hyperplasia and hypertrophy, widening of the intercellular spaces due to fluid accumulation and infiltration of immune and inflammatory cells were moderate to extreme. Total loss of the normal architecture, accompanied by basal cell metaplasia, occurred in some areas. The findings reflect the chronic nature of URTD and are comparable to respiratory mycoplasmosis described in rodents. Experiments to identify and differentiate possible direct cytopathic effects from injuries that are the result of the host inflammatory response are now in progress. Tortoise tracheal ring and fibroblast cell cultures are employed to examine the potential cytopathic effects of different isolates of Mycoplasma agassizii. Tracheal tissue from the gopher tortoise, Gopherus polyphemus, is also being used for comparison. A difference in target cell specificity was detected between two isolates that cause similar pathological changes in free-ranging populations. These same differences were observed in the gopher tortoise which has been shown to be infected with the same species of mycoplasma in the wild.

Using a general linear modeling program, we compared mean values for these parameters with mean values of a group afflicted with green turtle fibropapillomas (GTFP). Turtles of similar size classes from both groups were collected under the same conditions in the same study area and season at the same time of the day. Corticosterone, hematological, and enzymatic responses to acute and chronic stress were characterized for each group at four different sampling periods: 0 h (within 2 min of capture), 1 h, 3-4 h, and 24 h postcapture. On the basis of the differences identified between groups and times within a group, we conclude that turtles with GTFP are chronically stressed and immunosuppressed.

The virus particles entering the cell 1 h post infection (pi) were present in cytoplasmic receptosomes few hours later. About 24 h pi nucleocapsids entered the nucleus. Eosinophilic granulation of the nucleus and intra-nuclear inclusion bodies appeared between 30-60 h pi. Small round and ring-shaped (type I), circular, semicircular or rod-shaped (type II) and large, sharp, round (type III) inclusion bodies were formed. Typical crystalline aggregates of virions appeared at the periphery of the nucleus 48-60 h pi. The release of virions into the cytoplasm was followed by lysis of the infected cells. The destruction of cell monolayer was evident 96 h after infection.

Measurements of egg size and shape, as well as position of the clutch within the coelomic cavity, were taken from diag nostic radiographs of 20 female Cuban rock iguanas, Cyclura nubila, 81 to 18 days prior to laying. Combined with data on maternal body size, these variables were entered into multiple regression models to predict clutch size and timing of egg laying. The model for clutch size was accurate to 0.53 +,- 0.08 eggs, while the model for oviposition date was accurate to 6.22 +,- 0.81 days. Equations were generated that should be applicable to this and other large Cyclura species.

To study the proliferation of and protein synthesis in fat cells, tritiated thymidine and proline were injected into lizards after 3 weeks of tail regeneration and the tracers were revealed by optical and electron microscopic autoradiography. After 3 weeks of tail regeneration, adipocytes are rarely seen in the apical regions of the regenerating tail and most of the preadipose cells are visible in the submuscular connective tissue in the proximal regions. Fat cells begin to proliferate and accumulate visible lipid droplets in the proximal submuscular connective tissue after about 3 weeks of tail regeneration. The kinetics of [H-3]thymidine uptake after progressive postinjection periods suggest that fat tissue mass increases mostly as as result of fat cell hypertrophy, with only limited cell multiplication. During the initial stages of their differentiation, lipoblasts also take up [H-3]proline, but the ergastoplasm and Golgi apparatus become reduced during the process of fat accumulation. The final size of regenerated fat cells was less than that of the original fat cells. L Alibardi, Univ Bologna, Inst Comparat Anat., Dept Evolutionary & Exptl Biol.

At the apex of the regenerating tail, groups of 4-8 myoblasts of the promuscle aggregates fused to produce bundles of myotubes whose multiple labelled and unlabelled nuclei appeared to be distributed at random. The formation of the first myotubes and their growth is responsible for the formation of the myotome primordia and their separation from the intermuscular connective myosepta. More nuclei were added with the lengthening of the myotubes-up to 14-18 nuclei in the oldest proximal myotubes. At 4-5 h after injection labelled nuclei were found outside the myotubes while at 2-6 d after injection many labelled nuclei were observed in the myotubes, particularly near the two ends of the myotubular sarcoplasm contacting the myoseptum. This change from the initial distribution suggests that the growth of the myotubes takes place mostly at their terminals. There is an apparent correlation between the number of nuclei and the final length of the myotubes and myotome. The insertion of fibres with a similar number of nuclei and lengths into the pinnated connective myoseptum of the original musculature, the autotomy plane, probably determines the wave-like shape of the muscles within the regenerated myotomes.

Although juveniles and adults (>0.6 m) may be sexed effectively, smaller alligators are reportedly difficult to sex. We developed a method for sexing young alligators by inspection of the genitalia and quantified effects of incubation temperature on genital morphology. We predicted the sex of a hatchling by examining its genitalia within the cloaca. Our predictions were verified by inspecting the gonads macroscopically and histologically. The male clitero-penis typically is red, round, and large (mean length = 4.1 mm) in comparison with the female organ (mean length = 2.8 mm), which is white and smaller. Sex identification by cloacal examination was highly reliable (accuracy greater than or equal to 96%). Clitero-penis dimensions of hatchlings incubated at 29, 31, 32, 33, and 34 C increased significantly with increasing incubation temperature, both within and between sexes. Based on differences apparent in hatchlings, incubation temperature seems to affect genital differentiation during development in a graded fashion. During posthatching growth, size increased rapidly in males versus females; based on previous studies, we think that these changes can be attributed to ontogenetic changes in the levels of circulating sex steriods. Observable size differences in the genitalia of males versus females permit an accurate, noninvasive diagnosis of sex in young alligators. Sex identification by this method will facilitate experimental study, as well as the management of wild and captive alligators.

Rijn, 31-3-02-04 17 Reptilia, sauria, Lacerta schreiberi, infection, virus, erythrocytic virus Erythrocytic viruses were detected in the Iberian endemic lizard Lacerta schreiberi (Bedriaga, 1878) from Serra da Estrela and Serra do GerÍs, Portugal, and Serra de Bejar, Spain. Intraerythrocytic cytoplasmic viral inclusions were found during the spring and summer of 1994 in a high percentage of captured animals. The viruses are large (~220 nm) icosahedral particles with a two-layered core, infecting up to 100% of the erythrocytes. Six animals were inoculated i.p. with 0.1 ml of infected blood from a naturally infected animal from Serra da Estrela. Blood smears were made at 1 week intervals or less. For TEM, blood from a toe tip was collected into a capillary tube and processed following standard techniques. Organ fragments from sacrificed animals were processed for TEM and histological examination. Three of the inoculated animals developed erythrocytic infection in 2 to 3 weeks p.i.. The percentage of infected erythrocytes increased to 100% within a week and virions were produced within 1 month. The infection progressed towards elimination of the erythrocytic inclusions. The animals were active throughout the infection. The remaining three animals showed progressive and severe prostration from 2-3 weeks p.i. onwards. Two of these animals were sacrificed after the onset of symptoms and the third died. Internal bleeding was present in the peritoneal cavity and histological examination disclosed hepatitis with necrosis. TEM did not show so far virus particles in liver lesions. Few infected erythrocytes were seen in these animals before or at the onset of symptoms and they did not increase in number with time. Our results indicate that the L. schreiberi erythrocytic virus may infect inoculated animals. Further experiments and study of captive animals are necessary to rule out the possible activation of endogenous viruses in the laboratory. The course of the erythrocytic infection follows closely the pattern described by some of us(1) for other reptile erythrocytic viruses and seems largely asymptomatic. However, half of the animals did not develop blood infection, but instead a severe disease of uncertain etiology. It is presently unclear if this disease is related to the virus, since no replicating viruses were yet found in the affected organs. It is also unknown if it occurs in field populations since no similarly diseased animals were ever captured in the field. However, previous studies of naturally infected animals disclosed similar although less developed peritoneal bleeding and hepatitis in some of the animals. (1) Paperna,I and Alves de Matos, A.P.

Biol. 169 1 29-36 AM, embryology, endocrinology, In most male vertebrates, the mullerian ducts, which are the embryonic oviducts, regress completely during embryogenesis or shortly thereafter. Mullerian duct regression is caused by the testicular hormone mullerian inhibiting substance. While the exact mechanism of mullerian duct regression is not well understood, it is theorized to involve active migration of at least some of the ductal epithelial cells following breakdown of the basement membrane, possibly through an interaction between the epithelial cells and the surrounding extracellular matrix. The purpose of the present study was (1) to confirm that mullerian duct regression is characterized by epithelial cell migration and (2) to determine the destination of these cells. The ductal epithelium of male alligator embryos was labelled with the fluorescent cell marker DiI and then allowed to undergo regression in vitro. DiI-labeled mullerian ducts from female embryos served as controls. An in vivo experiment also was performed in which the mullerian ducts of female hatchlings were injected with DiI prior to each female receiving a testicular implant from a male hatchling. Control females received a kidney implant instead. In both the in vitro and the in vivo experiments, DiI-labeled epithelial cells were observed migrating out from the duct during regression. In the in vitro experiment in which regression proceeded more rapidly, epithelial cells entered the mesonephric kidneys and were incorporated into the nephric tubule epithelium. No regression or cell migration was observed in the control mullerian ducts.

Anat. 187 1 181-190 AM, grow, temperature, embryology, A variety of model-based (growth models) and model-free (cubic splines, exponentials) equations were fitted using weighted-nonlinear least squares regression to embryonic growth data from Alligator mississippiensis eggs incubated at 30 and 33 degrees C. Goodness of fit was estimated using a chi 2 on the sum of squared, weighted residuals, and run and sign tests on the residuals. One of the growth models used (Preece & Baines, 1978) was found to be superior to the classical growth models (exponential, monomolecular, logistic, Gompertz, von Bertalanffy) and gave an adequate fit to all longitudinal measures taken from the embryonic body and embryonic mass. However, measurements taken from the head could not be fitted by growth models but were adequately fitted by weighted least squares cubic splines. Data for the stage of development were best fitted by a sum of 2 exponentials with a transition point. Comparison of the maximum growth rates and parameter values, indicated that the growth data at 30 degrees C could be scaled to 33 degrees C to multiplying the time by a scaling factor of 1.2. This is equivalent to a Q10 of about 1.86 or, after solving the Arrhenius equation, an E++ of 46.9 kJmol-1. This may be interpreted as indicating a common rate-limiting step in development at the 2 temperatures.

A model of oral transport of fluids in snakes, the buccal-pump mechanism, predicts that snakes possess a functional sphincter guarding retrograde flow of accumulating fluid from the esophagus, and that intraoral transport proceeds sequentially under active pressure generation by the buccal-pump mechanism. Cineradiographic images and kinematic profiles of fluid transport were analyzed to test these predictions. Our results confirm the following: 1) the presence of a temporary esophageal sphincter, which prevents retrograde passage of fluid from the esophagus back into the mouth. 2) During each rhythmic drinking cycle, positive and negative pressure surges generated by the oropharyngeal cavity first aspirate fluid into the mouth then drive it intraorally, past the esophageal sphincter, and into the esophagus where each pulse of fluid contributes to a growing reservoir of water. 3) The oropharyngeal cavity is functionally divided into anterior and posterior tandem chambers that pump fluid sequentially from one (anterior) to the other (posterior), which then empties into the esophagus. 4) In large snakes, capillarity is not a significant force contributing to intraoral transport of water. These findings support the proposed buccal-pump models of fluid drinking by snakes. Reprint Endnote 95/91 Journal Article Beltran, R. R.. A.

The animals, owned by the green iguana foundation, were raised in captivity in Turrubares located in a dry forest area of Costa Rica. The 85 animals were divided into three age groups: 36 neonates (up to one month old), 14 juveniles (between one month and one year old); and 35 adults (more than one year old) All animals were subjected to detailed morphologic and etiologic investigation mainly based on organ system pathology to verify the cause of illness or death. In the neonatal group, 19 out of 35 animals exhibited severe hepatic degeneration and hypoglycemia is hypothized as a cause. Eight animals in the same group were found to have umbilical inflammation. Three neonates were blind, one had a granulomatous peritonitis and one had biliary duct metaplasia. In four, no remarkable findings were detected. In the juvenile group (n=14), three iguanas were found to have spinal cord degeneration, two had typhlitis with protozoa present in the mucosa, and one animal exhibited an ulcerative necrotic gastritis. Findings in the eight remaining animals were unremarkable. In the adult group (n=35), 19 showed alimentary tract lesions, subdivided into: six cases of necrotic ulcerative inflammation of the tongue, other six animals showed gastritis, in five the gastritis was chronic hyperplastic and two of them also had glandular cysts of the stomachal mucosa. Seven iguanas revealed intestinal problems of diverse etiology, of which parasitic problems were most common. Pathological changes in the liver and biliary system were found in 14 out of 35 adult iguanas with the biliary tract exhibiting most of the lesions. Seven animals showed biliary duct ectasia accompanied by wall rupture and followed by granulomatous inflammation. Various pathological lesions, both inflammatory and degenerative of nature were detected in the remaining seven iguanas. Respiratory system problems (n=12), were primarily confined to different inflammatory phases of bronchopneumonia: most likely due to aspiration. Seven out of twelve iguanas examined exhibited this pathology. Eleven animals were found to have reproductive system problems. In four out of nine females, the ovary was the target organ, while in two males, one had a purulent orchitis and the other had testicular atrophy. Nervous and muscular system problems were identified in ten iguanas. Myelomalacia was detected in three animals and muscular dystrophy was diagnosed in three others. Other organ systems were less frequently affected; cardiovascular, skeletal, renal, and skin lesions were identified in five, three and two animals respectively. Finally three tumours (complex uterine, granulosa cell and cystadenoma) and five gout cases (two arthricular and three renal) were diagnosed. 1 Dept. de Pathologia, Escuele de Medicine Veterinaria, Universidad Nacional, Heredia, Costa Rica 2 Fundacion Pro-Iguana Verde, A.P. 692-1007, San José, Costa Rica Book Section Berry, Kristin H. 1995 The status of the desert tortoise and conservation efforts in the United States Aguirre, Gustavo;McCoy, Earl D.;Musinsky, Henry;Villagrán Santa Cruz, Maricela;García Collazo, Rodolfo and Casas Andreu, Gustavo Proceedings of North American Tortoise Conference, Mapimí Biosphere Reserve, Durango, México October 8-11, 1994 Mexico City Sociedad Herpetologica Mexicana 2 21-25 Gopherus agassizii Journal Article Berry, Randal 1995 Albino alligators Crocodile Specialist group Newsletter 14 2 17 Alligator mississippiensis Journal Article Bertoluci, Jaime;Heyer, W.

The membrane capacitance and input resistance of coupled taste receptor cells were measured to monitor electrical coupling and the results compared with those calculated by a simple model of electrically coupled taste cells. Coupled receptor cells were modeled by two identical receptor cells connected via a junctional resistance. On average, the junctional resistance was approximately 200-300 M omega. This was consistent with the electrophysiological recordings. A junctional resistance of 200-300 M omega is close to the threshold for Lucifer yellow dye-coupling detection (approximately 500 M omega). Therefore, the true extent of coupling in taste buds might be somewhat greater than that predicted from Lucifer yellow dye coupling. Due to the high input resistance of single taste receptor cells (> 1 G omega), a junctional resistance of 200-300 M omega assures a substantial electrical communication between coupled taste cells, suggesting that the electrical activity of coupled cells might be synchronized.

Chelydra serpentina eggs were incubated at either 24 degrees or 30 degrees C on vermiculite with a water potential of approximately - 150 kPa. Measurements of oxygen consumption rate (VO2), yolk-free mass, and chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) vascular density index (VDI) were made. Measurements began when the CAM completely covered the inside of the shell and were continued until just before hatching. Eggs incubated at 24 degrees C had a significantly longer incubation time than eggs incubated at 30 degrees C (70 d vs. 51 d, respectively). Embryonic mass and VO2 of 24 degrees C-incubated eggs increased and peaked Inter than in 30 degrees C-incubated eggs. Temperature did not affect peak egg VO2, embryonic mass, or CAM VDI. Graphical overlay and regression analysis of embryonic mass and VO2 data against time revealed the presence of similar patterns at both temperatures. These data indicate that 24 degrees C-incubated eggs experienced a slowing of development at the beginning of incubation but that growth and VO2 following CRM development (late in incubation) were essentially the same as in eggs incubated at 30 degrees C. These results indicate that temperature has its effects primarily during the early portion of development and that Inter acclimation mitigates temperature effects. It is suggested that investigators should not treat reptilian development as a single homogenous period, but rather as two separate periods.

Int. Congress of Chelonian Conservation Reptilia, testudines, infection, virus, herpes In the last years several reports about a severe diphtheroid- necrotizing stomatitis in land tortoises have been published. The disease usually strated with the introduction of an inapparantly infected animal in the collection and spread very quickly to contact animals. The tortoises showed salivation, nasal discharge, anorexia and often dyspnoe. Most of them died within some days post exposure. Histological examonation of tongue of phalyngeal mucosa exhibited the presence of intranuclar inclusion bodies. Eelectronmicroscopic examination revealed herpesvirus particles The first isolation of herpesviruses from diseased animals was published at the Second World Congress of Herpetology by us. Characterization of the isolates and cross neutralization tests with antisera against the isolates and avian herpesviruses, test for host cell range in vitro and the preferred incubation temperature were performed. According to the results attempts to classify the isolates were made. It is possible to test tortoise sera with these isolates for the occurrence of antibodies against tortoise herpesviruses. With this method, one can find out seropositive animals which may be subclinically infected and perhaps are able to transmit virus. Serological monitoring of tortoises might be useful for prevention of healthy animals Journal Article Blahak, S.;Ott, I.;Vieler, E. 1995 Comparison of 6 different reoviruses of various reptiles Veterinary Research 26 5-6 470-476 Reptilia, serpentes, sauria, infection, reovirus, serotype In the last years the number of reports on virus isolations from reptiles have increased. The relationship of reptilian viruses to mammalian and avian viruses has not been fully investigated to date. In this paper 6 reptilian reoviruses have been examined and compared with avian and mammalian reoviruses with respect to serological and physicochemical properties. Differences and similarities are described. S Blahak/Staatliches Vet Untersuchungsamt Detmold/Westernfeldstr 1/Detmold, Germany.

A.;Carne, A.;Daugherty, C. H.;Chambers, G. K. 1995 Identification of a 130-kDa albumin in tuatara (Sphenodon) and detection of a novel albumin polymorphism Biochem Genet 33 5-6 189-204 Electrophoretic, immunochemical, and protein sequence analyses were performed on plasma albumin of the tuatara (Sphenodon), a rare reptile endemic to New Zealand. The analyses revealed that, unlike other terrestrial vertebrates, tuatara do not seem to possess a 60- to 75-kDa plasma albumin. The common form of plasma albumin in this genus has an apparent molecular mass of 130 kDa, making it by far the largest albumin reported for any terrestrial vertebrate. Starch gel electrophoresis of samples from tuatara on 24 of the 30 islands inhabited by this genus resolved two forms of the 130-kDa albumin (albumins A and C). A third albumin of approximately 170 kDa (albumin B), reflecting a novel alloalbuminemia, was found in tuatara in three geographically isolated populations. Albumin A appears to be restricted to populations at the southern extremity of the tuatara's distribution, while albumin C was found in all but four (southern) populations. Possible explanations for the origin and distribution of these albumins are discussed.

For the central neuronal component of the segmental motor system, it has recently been shown that intracellular analysis of the firing properties of motoneurons and interneurons can be undertaken for relatively long periods of time in in vitro slices of the lumbosacral spinal cord of the adult turtle. In other less reduced in vitro preparations, analyses are available on complex motor behaviors generated by the isolated spinal cord. These behaviors of spinal neuronal networks are analogous in key aspects to those generated by the isolated in vivo cord, and by the cord in intact preparations. These results suggest that the neuronal components of the segmental motor system can now be studied from the cellular,molecular level of analysis in in vitro slice preparations to the systems level in conscious, freely moving animals. The in vitro approach can also be used for the analysis of cellular mechanisms in suprasegmental brain structures, which contribute to the control of voluntary movement. For the peripheral neuromuscular component of the segmental motor system, information is now available on muscle fiber types and selected aspects of sensory innervation, and it is feasible to study the mechanical and biochemical properties of motor units. As such, the turtle presents a valuable model for exploring interrelations between the neuronal and mechanical components of the segmental motor system of the generalized tetrapod. A prominent feature of these recent developments is the extent to which they have been driven by findings that have emphasized an evolutionary conservation of motor-control mechanisms extending from ion channels, at the cellular level, to the control of multijointed movements at the systems level of analysis.

This species uses a fairly typical sareopterygian buccal pumping system to inflate its single lung. What distinguishes it from other amphibians is the large number of buccal pumping cycles that occur in each ventilatory cycle. Up to 29 buccal cycles were observed to occur in a single respiratory cycle, with a mean of 16.1 +- 3.0 buccal cycles. This long series of buccal cycles avoids the sarcopterygian pattern of rebreathing expired air because only the first buccal cycle pumps expired air back into the lung. The series of buccal cycles also generates pleuroperitoneal pressures that are three to ten times greater than those observed in other amphibians. We suggest that these high pleuroperitoneal pressures are necessary for the maintenance of body form and locomotor function in terrestrial caecilians.

The relative mass of the skeleton (as a percentage of the total body mass) is significantly lower in aquatic forms. This difference is not a phenomenon of intra- or inter-specific allometry between skeletal mass and body mass (size effect). Rather, it reflects a selective reduction of skeletal volume (low corticodiaphyseal index values and higher porosity), in particular in the autopodia, pectoral girdle, front limbs, and vertebral column of aquatic forms. These results reinforce the idea that habitat and mode of life are selective factors producing a more or less developed skeleton in anurans. Whether a lighter skeleton is a permanent adaptative feature or a reversible response in predominantly aquatic anurans remains to be tested. Journal Article Castanet, J.;Caetano., M.

Pathol. Rept. Amphib. Alphen a.d. Rijn, 31-3-02-04 259-264 Amphibia; anura; urodela; anatomy; blood; DNA content; nuclear volume; cell volume The rate of amphibian cell proliferation is species-specific and correlates with the amount of nuclear DNA. For example, the cell cycle lasts for 79 and 52 hours, while DNA content is 45 and 14,6 pg in Triturus cristatus and Rana esculenta respectively (Odartchenko & Grosset 1975). The DNA content of some amphibian species was determined spectophotometrically (reviewed by Szarski 1981). while it is unknown in others. The recently developed flow cytometry is a very sensitive technique for quantifying cellular DNA (Birstein et al . 1993; Burton & Bickham 1989). The aim of the present study is to find a correlation between the DNA content and volume of blood cells of several amphibian species. Material and Methods: Adult healthy individuals of several urodele (Salamandra salamandra, Triturus cristatus T. vulgaris, T. alpestris) and anuran (Rana temporaria, E. esculenta, R. ridibunda, R. lessonae, Bufo bufo, B. viridis, Hyla arborea, Bombina bombina, B. variegata) species were field collected in several localities of southern Poland during their active summer life and investigated soon after being brought to the laboratory. Blood cell suspensions fixed in ethanol and stains with propidium iodide were analysed on a Becton-Dickinson FACScan (argon laser, 448 nm) for the nuclear DNA content of cells at G0/G1 phase, using B. bufo as the internal standard. The DNA content of species investigated for the first time were calculated in relation to the DNA content of other species determined previously by microspectrophotometry, known from the literature (Birstein et al. 1993). Blood smears stained with MGG were used for the identification of cell types and measurement of the erythrocyte, lymphocyte, and neutrophil nuclear and cell size and volume using an Mustiscan computer programme while QuatroPro programme was used for data analysis. Results: FACScan analysis allowed measurement of the amount of nuclear DNA of the investigated species. Urodele species possess a higher content of DNA than anurans, with the maximum for S. salamandra (2C= 67 pg) and minimum for H. arborea (2C= 10 pg). Nuclear and cell volumes are also higher in urodeles than anurans within species are cell type-specific. Attempts to correlate the nuclear DNA content, nuclear volume, and cell volume of particular cell types are in progress. Discussion: Amphibian cells are the largest among vertebrates (Szarski 1981). The present analysis confirmed that urodeles possess larger cells and higher DNA content than anurans. The amount of nuclear DNA is one of the limiting factors of the rate of cell proliferation, which in turn is critical for an efficient immune response. This factor should be considered during studies on the rate of immune response of all investigated species.

Alligator eggs were collected from the Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge, Louisiana, and transported to the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory near Aiken, South Carolina. Eggs from each clutch were initially incubated at either 30 C to produce only females or 34 C to produce only males. After 40 days of incubation, the eggs were distributed among four final temperatures (28, 30, 32, and 34 C) for the remaining third of development. Egg and hatchling lipids were extracted with petroleum ether and hatchling nitrogen content was determined using the micro Kjeldahl procedure. Journal Article Congdon, J.D.;Fischer, R.U.;Gatten, R.E.

A. 1995 Neuromuscular effects of Papuan Taipan snake venom Ann Neurol 38 6 916-20 Snakebite is a cause of significant morbidity in Central Province, Papua New Guinea. Three adult patients with clinical evidence of neurotoxicity following envenomation by the Papuan taipan had serial neurophysiological examinations over the course of their subsequent hospitalization. All required artificial ventilation for 2.5 to 5 days. The compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitudes declined over the first 2 to 4 days after envenoming and then gradually increased in parallel with clinical recovery. Repetitive stimulation studies revealed a distinctive pattern of abnormality. Activation resulted in brief potentiation of the CMAP followed by significantly greater decrement than observed at rest. This effect lasted up to 30 minutes and was not altered after intravenous edrophonium. Single-fiber electromyographic recordings during the recovery phase of the illness were abnormal with marked blocking and increased jitter. All patients were able to return home.

It can provide a rapid diagnosis and is of particular value in tropical countries where finances and laboratory facilities are limited. Samples from reptiles and amphibians that can be examined cytologically include blood, aspirates, touch preparations, swabs, washings, brushings and fine-needle aspiration biopsies. Romanowsky stains are especially useful but a variety of others can be employed. Findings of significance can include micro-organisms, normal of pathological inflammatory cells, blood corpuscles and neoplastic cells. Contaminants especially materials from plants or prey items, can complicate interpretation. CENTRE VETERINAIRE DES VOLCANS (RWANDA) Journal Article Cooper, J.

Water content in the preovulatory follicles was 41% of their wet mass, while in the fully developed eggs it was 52%. Quantitative analysis of total soluble protein revealed no significant protein accumulation in the postovulatory egg since total protein content in the preovulatory follicle was similar to the amount present in the fully developed egg. Furthermore, analysis of follicle and egg proteins by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis did not indicate major qualitative differences in their protein pattern. Both of these findings strongly indicate lack! of proteins of oviductal origin in the egg of A. pulchellus. Thus, the observed increase in egg mass during retention in the oviduct is mainly due to water uptake, with a minor portion due to eggshell deposition and the incorporation of inorganic nutrients for embryo development.

Both backgrounds and bleaches accelerate the time course of current increase during steps into IBMX. We interpret this as evidence that the velocity of the guanylyl cyclase is increased in background light or after bleaching. Our results indicate that cyclase velocity increases nearly linearly with increasing percent pigment bleached but nonlinearly (and may saturate) with increasing back-ground intensity. In cones (as previously demonstrated for rods), light-activated pigment and bleached pigment appear to have somewhat different effects on the transduction cascade. The effect of bleaching on cyclase rate is maintained for at least 15-20 min after the light is removed, much longer than is required after a bleach for circulating current and sensitivity to stabilize in an isolated cone. The effect on the cyclase rate can be completely reversed by treatment with liposomes containing 11-cis retinal. The effects of bleaching can also be partially reversed by beta-ionone, an analogue of the chromophore 11- cis-retinal which does not form a covalent attachment to opsin. Perfusion of a bleached cone with beta-ionone produces a rapid increase in circulating current and sensitivity, which rapidly reverses when the beta-ionone is removed. Perfusion with beta-ionone also causes a partial reversal of the bleach-induced acceleration of cyclase velocity. We conclude that bleaching produces an "equivalent background" excitation of the transduction cascade in cones, perhaps by a mechanism similar to that in rods.

P. vitticeps demonstrated a typical reptilian breathing pattern of groups of breaths separated by periods of breath-holding. Respiratory patterns were measured at 18 degrees C and at 37 degrees C. Minute ventilation decreased at the lower temperature as a result of a decrease in average frequency. Tidal volume was temperature independent. The change in average frequency resulted from both a decrease in the instantaneous inspiratory time and an increase in the time spent in a non-ventilatory period. As a result, the work of breathing was less at 18 degrees C than at 37 degrees C. With the exception of tidal volume, breathing patterns were independent of changes to the composition of inspired air. At both 18 degrees C and 37 degrees C, inspiring a 5% CO2,13% O-2,82% N-2 gas mixture increased tidal volume but did not increase minute ventilation.

Expression of mouse Msx-1 in a cultured myogenic cell line conferred a transformed phenotype and inhibited fusion into myotubes. It has been proposed that Msx-1 expression is required to maintain certain cells in a proliferating and undifferentiated state and may be associated with the ability to regenerate limbs. Urodele amphibians such as the newt regenerate their limbs by formation of a growth zone or blastema, and we have isolated and sequenced newt Msx-1 (NvMsx-1) from a limb blastemal cDNA library. NvMsx-1 expression was detectable in RNA preparations from both limb and tail and their regeneration blastemas, although cultured cells established from limb blastemal mesenchyme gave negative results. When either COS cells or cultured newt blastemal cells were cotransfected with an expression vector for NvMsx-1 and reporter plasmids containing multiple homeobox protein binding sites, NvMsx-1 repressed reporter expression. If NvMsx- 1 was expressed together with a marker enzyme in cultured newt blastemal cells, no significant difference in DNA synthesis was observed relative to control transfectants. When myogenic mononucleate cells were transfected with NvMsx-1 and subsequently exposed to low serum to promote fusion, the fraction of Msx-1 positive cells in myotubes was comparable to a control transfected population analysed in the same culture. These results indicate that although Msx-1 expression could be important for limb regeneration, it does not exert a cell- autonomous effect on proliferation or myogenic differentiation of cultured blastemal cells.

A major source of mortality for these turtles is drowning in shrimp trawls; 70-80% of strandings of dead turtles on beaches are related to interactions with this fishery. In the late 1980s, the state and federal governments began requiring turtle excluder devices (TEDs) in trawl nets; TEDs allow turtles to escape the nets before they drown. To date, the effectiveness of Thus in reducing sea turtle strandings has not been quantitatively assessed. In this paper, we report on a statistical analysis of strandings data for loggerhead sea turtles on South Carolina beaches from 1980-1993. These data are long term, based on excellent beach coverage and include eight years before TEDs were required, two years of intermittent use, and four years with TED regulations in place. Regression analysis of the natural log-transformed strandings data showed a good fit to the model (R(2) = 0.88). The model had significant linear and squared trend terms suggesting the trawlers were sampling from a declining population (-5.3% per year), but the rate of decline has diminished. The analysis shows significant effects of the shrimp fishery in increasing strandings. The effect of TEDs in reducing strandings was also significant; TEDs reduce strandings by about 44% relative to the estimated effects of shrimp trawls without TEDs. If reductions in stage-specific mortality rates are at all similar to the observed reductions in strandings due to TEDs and other mortality sources do not intervene, population model predictions suggest that the outlook for loggerhead population recovery is good.

Juvenile Limnodynastes terraereginae and Litoria latopalmata were highly susceptible to BIV, while larval L. terraereginae were less susceptible. L. terraereginae and L. latopalmata juveniles injected intraperitoneally with 10(3) TCID50 (50% tissue culture infective dose) ml(-1) BIV died 6 to 10 d after injection. BIV could be transmitted by natural routes in L. terraereginae with mortality occurring from Day 14 to 26. Mortality occurred on Days 13 and 33 in L. terraereginae juveniles that were bath-challenged with BIV at a titre of 10(3) TCID50 ml(-1). BIV was retained for at least 40 d in the frogs. Larval L. terraereginae were bath-challenged at 10(0), 10(1), 10(2.5) and 10(4) TCID50 ml(-1) BIV. Low mortality occurred in the 10(2.5) and 10(4) TCID50 ml(-1) challenges, but BTV was isolated from one tadpole in the 10(1) TCID50 ml(-1) treatment sacrificed 16 d post challenge. Pathological changes were similar for larvae and juveniles of both species, and included renal, hepatic, splenic and pulmonary necroses, with pyknosis of erythrocytes also being observed. Immunoperoxidase staining techniques using cross-reactive anti-epizootic haematopoietic necrosis virus (EHNV) polyclonal antibody indicated the presence of BIV in the kidney, liver, lung and spleen of infected juveniles.

At least in some areas this mortality appears to have deleterious effects on local frog populations. Environmental and pathological investigations were conducted at ten sites of unusual mortality, resulting in two distinct disease syndromes being found: one involving skin ulceration and one involving systemic haemorrhages. Histologically, skin lesions were seen which are common to these two syndromes. Aeromonas hydrophila and related bacteria were isolated significantly more frequently from haemorrhagic frogs than from those with skin ulceration only. Virological examinations were carried out using direct negative-staining electron microscopy (EM), thin section EM and tissue culture. To date, poxvirus-like particles have been seen in the skin of 48 of 50 frogs examined with direct negative staining EM and an iridovirus has been identified in the skin of three frogs using EM. Of skin samples from 19 frogs that have been co-cultures with frog fibroblasts, six yielded an adenovirus. Toxicologic analysis showed liver samples to contain very high levels of certain metals, most notably copper. Analyses of tissues for organic pollutants and pesticides indicate that these were not a factor in the incidents of frog mortality investigated. Investigations are continuing in order to establish the significance of the above finding to the incidents of unusual frog mortality. 1.

By means of tritiated thymidine injections in testis of Gymnophiona, Urodela and Anura, we are able to show narrow correlations between cycle type and climate, and between sexual maturity age and life duration. Meiosis duration is species-specific, and it is linked to genetic and ecological factors.

Such spatial regulation implies possible action of genes known to be specific for particular cell lineages and/or axis. Hox genes have been the best examples of genes for such actions. We have, therefore, investigated the possibility that such genes are expressed during lens regeneration in the newt. The pax-6 gene (a gene that contains a homeobox and a paired box) has been implicated in the development of the eye and lens determination in various species ranging from Drosophila to human and, because of these properties, could be instrumental in the regeneration of the urodele eye tissues as well. We present data showing that pax-6 transcripts are present in the developing and the regenerating eye tissues. Furthermore, expression in eye tissues, such as in retina, declines when a urodele not capable of lens regeneration (axolotl) surpasses the embryonic stages. Such a decline is not seen in adult newts capable of lens regeneration. This might indicate a vital role of pax-6 in newt lens regeneration.

Mature oocysts, which varied considerably in size, were multisporocystic with ellipsoidal sporocysts that contained 4 sporozoites. Sporogonic development was completed in about 20 days. Mature meronts were observed in the liver and merozoites in erythrocytes of laboratory-reared bullfrogs that had been fed sporocysts 19 days previously. Similar attempts to infect laboratory-reared green and northern leopard frogs experimentally were unsuccessful, suggesting rather narrow specificity for this parasite in ranids. Gametogenesis and sporogonic stages of this parasite were ultrastructurally similar to those described for Hepatozoon species. The parasite appears to be transmitted directly between bullfrogs and mosquitoes in the study area where Cx. territans feeds avidly on bullfrogs, which in turn were observed to naturally ingest these mosquitoes. Based on data presented in this study and the earlier description by Stebbins in 1903, the haemogregarine parasite of bullfrogs was designated as a new combination, Hepatozoon catesbianae.

Rijn, 31-3-02-04 1995 215-230 Reptilia, sepentes, Python regius, infection, bacteria, helminth, pathology, survey A group of 397 Royal pythons (Python regius) was illegally imported into the United Kingdom. The pythons were seized by H.M. Customs and Excise and held in the Animal Quarantine Centre at 22°C to 24°C. Ulcerative stomatitis and respiratory disease were first noted, and during the first 15 days in captivity 85 deaths occurred. Clinical examinations, treatments, laboratory and post-mortem investigations were performed. The results indicate that Aeromonas hydrophila was the pathogen responsible for the ulcerative stomatitis, interstitial pneumonia, cellulitis (in conjunction with Pseudomonas aeruginosa), hepatitis, nephritis, myocarditis, and presumably the meningitis and encephalitis. High parasitic burdens of snake mites (Ophionyssus natricis), ixodid ticks (Aponomma exornatum), protozoa (Trichomonas sp.) and an unidentified nematode were also evident. Non-infectious problems included dysecdysis, crushing injuries, dehydration and glomerulonephrosis. These conditions were caused or exacerbated by incorrect husbandry and could have been avoided by housing the pythons in individual or small group vivaria at their preferred optimum temperature. zone of 22.6 - 32.2 0Centigrade. -Elands Veterinary Clinic, Station Road, Dunton Green, Sevenoaks, Kent TN16 2XA.

Ligand specificity of a given integrin is determined in part by the type of alpha and the type of beta subunit comprising it. Accumulating evidence suggests that integrin-ligand binding in some systems influences cell behavior through tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular proteins. METHODS: In this study, we utilized immunohistochemistry to examine the expression of beta 1 and beta 4 integrin subunits as well as tyrosine phosphorylation in normal keratinocytes and in keratinocytes migrating to form a wound epithelium. An adhesion assay was used to determine if freshly isolated keratinocytes could interact with fibronectin and collagen. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by immunoblotting was employed to compare beta 1 integrins in migrating and nonmigrating keratinocytes. RESULTS: In normal epidermis, beta 1 and beta 4 localized primarily to basal cells, where both subunits were generally distributed over all parts of the cell periphery. Except for a modest presence in suprabasal cells and a minimal presence adjacent to the epidermal basement membrane, phosphotyrosine (ptyr) had a similar distribution. In migrating keratinocytes, beta 1, beta 4, and ptyr localized most heavily at the interface between the forming wound epithelium and the wound bed. Adhesion assays using keratinocytes from normal epidermis revealed a population of cells that could specifically adhere and spread on fibronectin and type I collagen. Immunoblots of beta 1 subunits from normal and migrating keratinocytes showed no increase in amount of beta 1, nor did the apparent size of beta 1 change in migrating compared to normal cells. CONCLUSIONS: The heavy accumulation of beta 1 and beta 4 at the wound bed interface in migrating cells suggests that these subunits may be involved in attachments of migrating cells to extracellular matrix proteins in the wound. The accumulation of ptyr in the same region further suggests that integrin-ligand interaction in keratinocytes modulates cell behavior through phosphorylated proteins. The fact that freshly isolated newt keratinocytes could adhere and spread on fibronectin or collagen shows that these cells are constitutively activated. This view is supported by the absence of any evidence that the beta 1 in migrating keratinocytes is larger and therefore more mature than beta 1 in normal keratinocytes. By comparison, beta 1 integrins on human keratinocytes are not constitutively activated (Takashima and Grinnell, 1985; Toda et al., 1987; Guo et al., 1990, 1991), a difference that may explain why epidermal wound healing is faster in newts than in humans.

Infected males display fewer courtship and territorial behaviors, have altered sexually dimorphic coloration, and have smaller testes. Infected animals store less fat by late summer, which, for females, reduces clutch size in the spring. We describe hormonal alterations associated with malarial parasitism that may underlie this reproductive inhibition. We caught lizards in the field and bled them either immediately or 1 h after capture for measurement of basal and stress levels of steroid hormones Compared to uninfected lizards, infected lizards had bower levels of basal plasma testosterone (24 vs. 38 ng,mL) and higher bevels of corticosterone (18 vs. 8 ng,mL) following 1 h of capture and confinement. Infected animals also had lower levels of plasma glucose (243 vs. 270 mg,dL). When we experimentally elevated plasma corticosterone of uninfected lizards in large outdoor enclosures, the animals showed decreases in testosterone, testis size, and stored fat similar to those of infected animals in the wild. We hypothesize that the parasite induces alterations in the adrenal response to acute stress, resulting in a suppression of testosterone and the inhibition of reproductive behavior.

Population managers in North America base their decisions on information in two databases: the International Species Information System (ISIS) and American Zoo and Aquarium Association (AZA) approved regional studbooks. Genetic and demographic management of species relies on studbooks, whereas regional collection planning and management by Taxon Advisory Groups (TAGs) may use a combination of studbooks, direct surveys, acid data from ISIS. Use of ISIS data as the primary basis for population management and collection planning is increasing, yet there has been no assessment of how ISIS data differ from studbooks. Thus these databases were compared to determine if they are interchangeable for the purposes of regional collection planning or species management. Population sizes of living individuals in 68 SSP(C) taxa were compared to assess the magnitude of differences between the databases. Differences in population size were considerable and highly variable; ISIS on average underestimated the number of living animals in SSP(C) taxa populations. Ten studbooks were also analyzed in detail to identify specific types of discrepancies between the two databases. On average, 19.2 +,- 2.2% of the information in the ISIS database differed from that in the studbook. Most discrepancies derived from data that were either missing from, or incorrect in, the ISIS database. The most common discrepancies involve parents who were either unidentified or misidentified in the ISIS database ((x) over bar = 37.5 +,- 5.7% of all records). No single type of discrepancy, however, was prevalent across all 10 species; the overall rate of discrepancies per species was attributable to a combination of discrepancies peculiar to each species. Protocols concerning data entry standards, data collection, and the scope of data collected are likely causes of most discrepancies. In its present form, the ISIS database is not appropriate for single species management; if used cautiously, it can be of assistance in the development of regional collection plans. Development of an ISIS database that is suitable for population management will require an increased commitment to data quality by records keepers, zoological institutions, and ISIS. J. M.

In the present study, we established that tadpoles of 2 genera of frogs (Xenopus and Rana) were capable of ingesting copepods infected with third-stage larvae (L3) of Dracunculus insignis. Once ingested, the L3s migrated from the gut to the somatic tissues of the tadpoles. In Xenopus, the dracunculid larvae persisted through the metamorphosis of the tadpoles into adult frogs. These observations confirm the concept that paratenic hosts, such as tadpoles or frogs, may be important means of transporting infective larvae of Dracunculus species up the food chain and facilitate transmission to the definitive hosts.

Ecol. 4 6 719-729 AM, genetics, biochemistry, Genes of the major histocompatibility complex (Mhc) are the most polymorphic functional loci in mammalian populations, but little is known of Mhc variability in natural populations of nonmammalian vertebrates. To help extend such studies to birds and relatives, we present a pair of degenerate primers that amplify polymorphic segments of one chain (the beta chain) of the class Ii genes from the major histocompatibility complex (Mhc) of archosaurs (birds + crocodilians). The primers target two conserved regions lying within portions of the antigen binding site (ABS) encoded by the second exon and amplify multiple genes from both genomic DNA and cDNA. The pattern of nucleotide substitution in ABS codons of 51 sequences amplified and cloned from five species of passerine birds and an alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) indicates that archosaurian class II beta genes are subject to selective forces similar to those operating in mammalian populations. Hybridization of a genomic clone generated by the primers revealed highly polymorphic bands in a sample of Florida scrub jays (Aphelocoma coerulescens coerulescens). Because the primers amplify only part of the ABS from multiple class II genes, they will be useful primarily for generating species specific clones, thereby providing a critical inroad to more detailed structural and evolutionary studies.

In both males and females, an increase in the number of cells showing prolactin-like expression was observed at the beginning of the dry season. In the middle of the season, this number decreased. In pregnant females, mRNA expression remained constant during the first stages of gestation but, in the final stages, when embryos reached their maximum development, mRNA expression increased. In males and in sexually inactive females, prolactin-mRNA expression was the same throughout the year. We conclude that the activity of cells expressing prolactin could be related to hydromineral regulation and, in females, to the gestation process.

Mice showed normal development; the litter-group weight gain was not altered significantly (P > 0.05) relative to the total number of C. serpentis oocysts inoculated or to the initial group weight (P > 0.05). Histological sections of stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, and colon 4 days postinoculation did not contain life-cycle stages of Cryptosporidium in any inoculated mice. Because these neonatal, C. parvum-susceptible BALB-c mice were resistant to infection it is unlikely that C. serpentis transmission to the snakes ''via infected prey'' results when captive snakes are maintained on a diet of BALB-c mice.

We recorded odor-induced currents from isolated olfactory receptor neurons of the land phase tiger salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum) with the whole cell patch clamp. 2. In a subset of cells the current-voltage relation for the odor-induced current showed a strong rectification with, in some cells, a negative resistance slope between about -45 and - 25 mV. In these cells there was little or no odor-induced current at - 55 mV, the average resting potential of olfactory neurons. 3. Depolarizing the membrane to +20 mV revealed a large outward current, and on repolarizing the membrane to -55 mV we could observe a large inward current. This current was not observed in the absence of the depolarizing step or in the absence of odor stimuli. 4. This odor- induced tail current was dependent on extracellular Ca2+ and voltage, activating with increased depolarization. The reversal potential was sensitive to the chloride equilibrium potential and it could be significantly blocked by niflumic acid, a blocker of calcium-activated chloride currents. The voltage dependence could result from either the voltage-dependent block of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate-gated cation channels known to be activated by odorants and permeable to Ca2+, or from an inherent voltage dependence in the chloride channel gating. 5. The current appears to function as a regenerative mechanism that might increase the amplitude and duration of the odor-induced current, especially to low concentrations of stimulus.

Previous research, which utilized morphological and immunological data, has not resolved the origin of snakes or clearly delineated the relationships between snakes and other lizards. A DNA sequence data set from the mitochondrial ND4 gene and the histidine, serine, and leucine tRNAs has been generated for use in the examination of these relationships. Parsimony analyses employing multiple outgroups resolve snakes within the lizard clade. Varanus is the sister group to the snakes in 81% of bootstrap replications using Bos as the outgroup specified, 85% using Trachemys, 57% using Alligator, and 80% using all three outgroups. The primitive, fossorial snake genera Leptotyphlops and Typhlops are basal to the other snakes and provide tentative molecular evidence in support of a fossorial or subfossorial origin of limblessness for the suborder Serpentes.

Zool. Syst. Evolutionforsch. 33 1 17-31 courtship, behavior, reproduction, Copulatory organ, mating posture and locomotion: their interrelationship in non mammalian vertebrates. This paper demonstrates, for the vertebrate groups discussed, a relationship between mating posture, the length of the copulatory organ, and the respective modes of locomotion..//The modes of locomotion in the majority of non mammalian vertebrate groups presuppose a massive, heavily muscularized, and relatively long tail, which may either reinforce lateral flexions of the trunk or (in animals with rigid trunk) act as the only means of propulsion (e.g. in Chondrichthyes, Teleostei, Lepidosauria, and Crocodylia). Such a massive tail with gradual transition to the trunk necessitates a lateral mating position (regardless of whether the copulatory organ is paired or unpaired). Animals with a flexible trunk will, therefore, generate strongly pronounced laterotruncal flexions ('dynamic lateral bending'). A long copulatory organ is not necessary (e.g. the short hemipenes of Lepidosauria). Animals with a rigid trunk, on the other hand, will not be capable of copulating unless by means of a relatively long penis or a modified mating posture (e.g. Crocodylia). In the course of phylogeny, whenever a change in the mode of locomotion allows a reduction in tail length, this will lead to a corresponding change in mating posture, with mating then being possible from a posterior position (e.g. Chelonia, Aves, as well as Ascaphus among the Anura). The locomotion of the latter taxa is characterized by a completely or almost completely rigid trunk. Thus, contact between male and female cloaca cannot be assisted by bending movements in the trunk. To compensate for truncal rigidity, there is a trend towards linear extension of the penis, or other male copulatory organs (such as mixopterygia or gonopodia), e.g. in the pelagic Selachians, in Chelonia, and in the flightless ratites. For those birds lacking a penis, the only methods of overcoming truncal rigidity are stationary locomotion (fluttering without forward movement), having a mobile, swivelling cloacal region (uropygium), and simultaneous evagination of the proctodeum of both the male and female. Penguins, being unable to perform stationary fluttering, resort to a somewhat modified mating posture.

The dichotomy of these two lineages occurred in the upper Permian. Originally, the intraarticular knee ligaments were three cruciates, The intermediate cruciate (a posterior one with guiding function) is present in all diapsids, whilst the medial one (an anterior with guiding function) is absent in birds. The lateral cruciate ligament is subdivided into a lateral anterior and a medial posterior shank. The posterior shank disappeared in birds and crocodiles. The anterior shank disposes of a guiding function in archosaurs, and is in the course of reduction in lepidosaurs. The reduction process has progressed least in sphenodons, whereas the lateral cruciate of chameleons is totally absent. The anterior cruciates of birds (the lateral one) and of chameleons (the medial one) are hence not homologous. The morphology and function of the cruciate ligaments can be related with gait evolution.

J Exp Biol 198 Pt 709-20 Despite numerous studies of food transport in terrestrial vertebrates, little is known about this aspect of the feeding repertoire in aquatic vertebrates. Previous work had predicted that the kinematics of aquatic prey capture by suction feeding should be similar to those of prey transport. However, recent analyses of aquatic prey capture and transport in the tiger salamander Ambystoma tigrinum have contradicted this hypothesis, and document numerous differences between these two behaviors. In this study, using high-speed video and statistical analyses, we compare prey capture and transport kinematics in a ray- finned fish (Lepomis macrochirus, the bluegill sunfish) to examine the generality of differences between capture and transport behaviors in aquatic vertebrates. Compared with prey capture, prey transport is significantly more rapid and tends to have reduced lower jaw excursions, while having similar hyoid movements. A nested analysis of variance was used to analyze six variables common to both this analysis of Lepomis macrochirus and a previous study of Ambystoma tigrinum; none of these six variables showed significant variation between taxa. These results indicate that aquatic prey transport is kinematically distinct from capture behavior and that the distinctions between these two behaviors are remarkably consistent in two phylogenetically divergent lower vertebrate taxa. Such consistent kinematic differences have not been found in amniote taxa studied to date, but may constitute a plesiomorphic feature of vertebrate feeding systems.

They are of different etiology caused by viruses, fungi and parasites. Endoscopic investigation of the respiratory tract in reptiles has been proven to be a valuable tool to get a definite diagnosis of respiratory disease and offers the possibility to take samples for laboratory investigations. Depending on the size of the reptile and the specific anatomy of the respiratory tract both rigid and flexible endoscopes are used for the examination of the choana, trachea, bronchi and the lung. Endoscopy is always performed under general anaesthesia to minimise the risk of organ trauma and to obtain consistency in positioning the patient for anatomic orientation. A complete endoscopic examination of the respiratory tract of reptiles always includes the sampling of mucus, a respiratory lavage and if necessary an endoscope guided biopsy for further laboratory investigations.

In natural population of these lizards, heavy ectoparasite infestations are confined to specific sites. These are "mite pockets" sensu Arnold, 1986 in S. jarrovii versus upper eyelids for mites and tympanum edge for ticks in S. graciosus and U. stansburiana, respectively. Pathology is limited to a diffuse inflammatory reaction confined to these select areas. No adverse health effects were seen in natural populations. Prevalence and intensity of chiggers and ticks were highest in S. graciosus and U. stansburiana after emergence from hibernation in early spring. In S. jarrovii chigger infestation occur a few days after birth. Captive S. jarrovii are susceptible to exotic mite infestations which are not restricted to specific body sites and can be fatal. We propose that inadequate nutrition, sanitation or captive stress may lead to decreased resistance to mites. 1) Department of Biology, Whittier College, Whittier, California 90608, USA 2) Department of Biology, Pennsylvania State University, Shenango Valley Campus, Sharon, Pennsylvania 16146, USA 3) Comparative Medical and Veterinary Services, County of Los Angeles, Downey, California 90402, USA.

MERIFLUOR(TM) test detection sensitivities for purified C. serpentis and C, parvum oocysts were compared. The oocysts of C. serpentis and C. parvum showed the same intensity of fluorescence reaction (majority, 3+ to 4+). Sensitivity of the MERIFLUOR(TM) test was 100% for SSCF-derived material and 88% for DWS versus 45% for Mod AFS DWS, 35% for SSCF, and 21% for UDWS. The threshold of MAb detection(4.7 x 10(3) oocyst/ml), was the same for C. serpentis and C. parvum oocysts and was 16 times higher than the absolute sensitivity of the listed conventional techniques. Conventional techniques underestimated the number of C. serpentis oocysts by an average factor of 5.3 and produced false-negative results an average of 66% of the time. False negatives were 100% when the concentration of oocysts was <7.5 x 10(4)/ml. The range of concentration of fecal C. serpentis oocysts (0.4 x 10(3)/ml-1.4 x 10(5)/ml, (x) over bar = 5.0 x 10(4)/ml) was an average of three times lower than those reported for C. parvum from humans and other mammals. The MAb detection was more sensitive for C. serpentis oocysts than were conventional techniques, and it eliminated false-negative outcomes and the subjectivity associated with those methods.

Rijn, 31-3-02-04 201-214 Amphibia, anura, B. marinus, pathology, decline In January 1992 and 1994, significant numbers of introduced wild cane toads (B. marinus) in Waiamea Canyon, Kaua'i Island (KI) were thin, weak, lethargic, and near death. Sympatric amphibians (Rana rugosa & R. catesbeiana ) were unaffected. Morbidity on one evening in 1992 was „15%; on one evening in 1994 it was „8%. Nine and 18 B. marinus (1992 and 1994 respectively were captured, euthanized, formalinized, necropsied, and studied histologically by>6 veterinary pathologists in the DPWG. Body and select organ weights and body lengths were compared to well-nourished B. marinus from Australia; the majority of B. marinus from KI were malnourished and their condition index (CI)(Cube root of BW divided by snout-urostyle length(SUL)) was consistently below that of well-nourished B. marinus. Toadlets (<50mm SUL) had better body weight and condition indices than toads >60 mm SUL. suggesting B. marinus are well nourished at metamorphosis, but fail o thrive as they mature. Histologic examinations failed to detect significant diseases which may have caused failure to thrive. However, 100% and 89% of B. marinus (1992 and 1994 respectively) had encysted larval nematodes in the gastric submucosa, and 6 (33%) of 1994 toads had ovotestes. Leptospires have been detected in surface waters in Waiamea Canyon, and results of special histologic stains fro leptospires will be presented. In summary, the cause for population declines in B. marinus on KI, Hawaii, was attributed to malnutrition.

Earl;Andrews, James;Abell, John 1995 Preliminary studies on an Ichthyophonus-like fungal infection of wild newts (Notophthalmus viridescens) Herpetopathologia, Proc. 5th int. symp. Pathol. Rept. Amphib. Alphen a.d. Rijn, 31-3-02-04 51-59 Amphibia, urodeles, newt,Notophthalmus viridescens, infectiuon, fungus, Ichthyophonus During the 1994 spring breeding season in a pond in Vermont, red-spotted newts were observed to develop swellings of the dorsal and lateral rump: skin appeared intact over the swellings. Newts (n=14) were selected for euthanasia; 7 had grossly evident swellings and 2 were controls from a second pond about 20 Km away. In addition, 15 newts (same species and subspecies) from 3 ponds on the Virginia-West Virginia border were examined. Bacterial and fungal cultures, cytology and histology were performed. Grossly, newts showed mild, often subtle, irregular raised regions on the dorsum and dorsolateral surfaces of the caudal third of body, over pelvic region and proximal 25% of tail; overlying skin was unremarkable. Crush smears of rump muscles showed distinctly ovoid, light brown, thinly encapsulated organisms measuring 175µ x 74 µ. Histologically organisms were found in skeletal muscles only of 9 (75%) newts from the principal pond; organisms were not detected in 17 newts from 4 additional ponds in Vermont and Virginia. In cross sections of skeletal muscles, organisms were circular, had double walls, variably staining homogenous cores, and never demonstrated daughter sphaerules, hyphae, nuclei or germination. Results of histologic special stains and electron microscopy will be presented. Although pure cultures of the fungus Aureobasidium pullulanus were obtained from muscles of 3 affected newts, this organism will be compared to pigmented fungi, Ichthyophonus, spherical fungi, and intramuscular parasites. Prevalence of infections by this organism and Trypanosoma diemyctyli will be correlated. 1Maryland dept. of Agriculture, Animal Health Diagnostic Lab., College Park, MD 20740 USA. 2 Dept. of Biology, Middlebury College, Middlebury, VT 05753 USA Journal Article Green, D.J.;Green, L.

A variety of characters is shared by all seven species. Larval features do not substantiate the assumption of close ranoid affinities of the Dendrobatidae. Instead dendrobatid larvae share features such as the special quadripartite cartilago suprarostralis, the lack of the larval processus oticus, the presence of three foramina acustica, and the lack of a foramen perilymphaticum accessorius with many bufonoid larvae. The first of these characters is unique to bufonids, hylids, dendrobatids, and some New World leptodactylids; the other characters also occur in pelobatids and are presumably plesiomorphic for the Neobatrachia. The free proximal ends of Ceratobranchialia II and III are an autapomorphy of the Dendrobatidae supporting the monophyly of the family. Some features of the cranium are paedomorphic: low cartilago orbitalis, lack of connection between cartilage orbitalis and otic capsule (most species), and vestigal taeniae tecti. New anatomical terms are introduced. Book Section Habermehl, G.G. 1995 Antimicrobial Activity of Amphibian Venoms Rahman, A.U.

Rijn, 31-3-02-04 1995 271-275 Amphibia, anura, dendrobatidae, pathology, underdevelopment, skeleton, muscle Skeletal and muscular underdevelopment (SMUD) mainly affecting the forelimbs, is an abnormality occurring in the family, Dendrobatidae, and several species of frogs and toads. Gradations of the abnormality vary between: 1) absence of forelimbs and deformities of hindlimbs; 2) deformities of forelimbs with absence of elements of the pectoral girdle and poor joint development; 3) underdevelopment in the number of muscle fibres and in severe cases incomplete development of joints to 4) weakness of otherwise macroscopically normal forelimbs. The muscle fibres show a wide variation in diameter. The humerus of affected legs is thin, but reveals no indications of calcium deficiency as the primary cause of changes.

Though there is considerable evidence that dopamine is an important retinal neuromodulator that mediates many of the changes in the properties of retinal neurons that are normally seen during light adaptation, the mechanism by which dopamine release is controlled remains poorly understood. In this paper, we present evidence which indicates that dopamine release in the retina of the tiger salamander, Ambystoma tigrinum, is driven excitatorily by a cholinergic input. We compared the effects of applying carbachol to those of dopamine application on the responses of rods, horizontal cells, and bipolar cells recorded intracellularly from the isolated, perfused retina of the tiger salamander. Micromolar concentrations of dopamine reduced the amplitudes of rod responses throughout the rods' operating range. The ratio of amplitudes of the cone-driven to rod-driven components of the responses of both horizontal and bipolar cells was increased by activation of both D1 and D2 dopamine receptors. Dopamine acted to uncouple horizontal cells and also off-center bipolar cells, the mechanism in the case of horizontal cells depending only upon activation of D1 receptors. Carbachol, a specific cholinomimetic, applied in five- to ten-fold higher concentrations, produced effects that were essentially identical to those of dopamine. These effects of carbachol were blocked by application of specific dopamine blockers, however, indicating that they are mediated secondarily by dopamine. We propose that the dopamine-releasing amacrine cells in the salamander are under the control of cells, probably amacrine cells, which secrete acetylcholine as their transmitter.

J. 1995 Abbe Felice Fontana (1730-1805): founder of modern toxinology Toxicon 33 5 591-601 One of the great experimentalists in toxinology, Felice Fontana, worked in Tuscany on the venom of the European viper; his classic text Traite sur le Venin de la Vipere was published in 1781. Fontana identified fundamental questions which he proceeded to test experimentally using as quantitative an approach as possible within the technical confines of the mid to late eighteenth century. Amongst his findings are the discoveries that the constituents of viper venom can be precipitated by alcohol, that the action of the venom is myotoxic and that it produces not only coagulation of blood, but paradoxically, fluidity as well. After more than 200 years, it is time to honour his name and recall his work once more.

R. 1995 Phylogenetic relationships of amphibian families inferred from DNA sequences of mitochondrial 12S and 16S ribosomal RNA genes Mol Biol Evol 12 5 928-37 Nucleotide sequence comparisons were used to investigate ordinal and familial relationships within the class Amphibia. Approximately 850 base pairs of the mitochondrial 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene from representatives of 28 of the 40 families of extant amphibians were sequenced. Phylogenetic analyses of these data together with published data of the 12S rRNA gene for the same families and both genes for three more taxa (approximately 1,300 base pairs total for 35 taxa) support the monophyly of each of the three amphibian orders: Anura (confidence value with the interior-branch test: P(c) = 99%), Caudata (P(c) = 100%), and Gymnophiona (P(c) = 99%). An analysis using the four-cluster method cannot discriminate significantly between all three possible unrooted trees involving the three orders of amphibians and an outgroup. Within the Anura, there is support for the monophyly of the two suborders: Neobatrachia (P(c) = 100%) and Archaeobatrachia (P(c) = 97%); the latter was believed to be paraphyletic on the basis of morphology. Within the Archaeobatrachia, the following pairs of taxa cluster: Pelobatidae + Pelodytidae (P(c) = 99%), Pipidae + Rhinophrynidae (P(c) = 99%), Ascaphus + Leiopelmatidae (P(c) = 89%), and Bombina + Discoglossidae (P(c) = 99%). The latter six taxa cluster (P(c) = 94%) such that Pelobatidae + Pelodytidae forms a basal lineage within the Archaeobatrachia. Three major lineages are distinguished within the Neobatrachia: the superfamily Bufonoidea sensu Duellman (P(c) = 86%), the superfamily Ranoidea sensu Lynch (P(c) = 99%), and the Sooglossidae. Basal within the Bufonoidea, Myobatrachidae + Heleophrynidae cluster at P(c) = 96%. The enigmatic Dendrobatidae clusters with the bufonoid families (P(c) = 92%) and is excluded from the ranoid families (P(c) = 99%). (ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) Journal Article Hay, J.

B. 1995 Higher-level snake phylogeny inferred from mitochondrial DNA sequences of 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA genes Mol Biol Evol 12 2 259-65 Portions of two mitochondrial genes (12S and 16S ribosomal RNA) were sequenced to determine the phylogenetic relationships among the major clades of snakes. Thirty-six species, representing nearly all extant families, were examined and compared with sequences of a tuatara and three families of lizards. Snakes were found to constitute a monophyletic group (confidence probability [CP] = 96%), with the scolecophidians (blind snakes) as the most basal lineages (CP = 99%). This finding supports the hypothesis that snakes underwent a subterranean period early in their evolution. Caenophidians (advanced snakes), excluding Acrochordus, were found to be monophyletic (CP = 99%). Among the caenophidians, viperids were monophyletic (CP = 98%) and formed the sister group to the elapids plus colubrids (CP = 94%). Within the viperids, two monophyletic groups were identified: true vipers (CP = 98%) and pit vipers plus Azemiops (CP = 99%). The elapids plus Atractaspis formed a monophyletic clade (CP = 99%). Within the paraphyletic Colubridae, the largely Holarctic Colubrinae was found to be a monophyletic assemblage (CP = 98%), and the Xenodontinae was found to be polyphyletic (CP = 91%). Monophyly of the henophidians (primitive snakes) was neither supported nor rejected because of the weak resolution of relationships among those taxa, except for the clustering of Calabaria with a uropeltid, Rhinophis (CP = 94%).

Rijn, 31-3-02-04 249-258 Amphibia, urodela, salamander, anatomy, mRNA Message Amplification Phenotyping (MAPPing) utilises reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain (RT-PCR) to detect expression of multiple messenger ribonucleic acids (mRNAs) in a cell population. By using a combination of cytokine and housekeeping mRNA, immune cell function or status might be determined. Plethodon cinereus is abundant in eastern North America, has a completely terrestrial life cycle, and uses its highly permeable skin to breathe and absorb water. These characteristics make it a potentially ideal species to monitor environmental toxicant effects. Development of RT-PCR protocols for use in MAPPing may allow detection of alterations in the immune response of P. cinereus after exposure to environmental toxicants. Total ribonucleic acid (RNA) was extracted from fresh or frozen tissue via a modified guanidine isothocyanate-phenol-chloroform extraction method (TRI REAGENT, Molecular Research Center, Inc., Cincinnati, OH, USA) Complementary deoxyribonucleic acid (cDNA) was obtained using the 1st-STRANDTM cDNA Synthesis Kit (CLONTECH Laboratories, Inc., Palo Alto, CA, USA). The presumptive salamander beta-actin(ß-actin) was amplified by 30 cycles of PCR using primers based on mammalian ß-actin sequence information and an annealing temperature of 60o Celsius (C). The PCR products were detected by ethidium bromide staining of polyacrylamide gels. Cycle sequencing (CyclistTM TaqDNA Sequencing Kit, Stratagene, La Jolla, CA, USA) was used to obtain a partial sequence for the presumptive salamander ß-actin PCR product. The 3' and 5' sequences had 72.6% identity (369 bp overlap) and 83.3% identity (210 bp overlap) respectively when compared with Gallus gallus ß-actin mRNA (GENBANK/EMBL). It appears that primer sets based on mammalian sequence data will allow the amplification of cDNA for the homologous mRNA in P. cinereus. Alterations in the PCR conditions and mitogen stimulation of splenocytes are anticipated to result in the identification of cytokine mRNA/cDNA for use in MAPPing. Sequencing of the PCR products and comparison with known sequences from other species will be necessary to determine homology.

Pathol. Rept. Amphib. Alphen a.d. Rijn, 31-3-02-04 41-43 Reptilia, testudines, sauria, infection, bacterial In 1994, 14 Reptilia species were examined clinically or post-mortem at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Gent. In 10 of these 14 reptiles, bacteria were isolated from tissues which showed macroscopic or cytologic evidence of lesions. In the present communication these 10 cases are reviewed. Lactobacillus garvieae was associated with conjunctivitis in a water tortoise and with infection of the skin in a chameleon. Septicaemia with Enterococcus faecalis was observed in 1 iguana. Gram-positive cocci which could not be identified were isolated from an iguana that suffered from septicaemia and from ulcera on the pads of a land tortoise. One Eryx sp. suffered from septicaemia with Actinomyces sp.. Corynebacterium sp. were obtained from a hole in the shell of a land tortoise. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated from an intestinal tract lesion of a python. Septicaemia with non-identified Enterobacteriaceae sp. and non-identified Gram-negative fermenting bacteria was diagnosed in a land tortoise and in an iguana, respectively. Although in literature bacterial disease in reptiles is predominantly associated with Gram-negative bacteria, the present results indicate Gram-positive as well as Gram-negative bacteria may be clinically important in these animals.

Quantification of kinematics and muscle activity patterns facilitated their correlation during kinematic phases. Changes in angular velocity of the gape let the strike be subdivided into four kinematic phases: slow open (SOI and SOII), fast open (FO), fast close (FC), and slow close-power stroke (SC,PS). The SOI phase is marked by initial activity in the tongue protractor, the hyoid protractor, and the ring muscle. These muscles project the tongue beyond the anterior margin of the jaw. During the SOII phase, a low level of activity in the jaw dosers correlates with a decline of the jaw-opening velocity. Next, bilateral activity in the jaw openers defines the start of the FO phase. This activity ends at maximal gape. Simultaneously, the hyoid retractor and the hyoglossus become active, causing tongue retraction during the FO phase. At maximal gape, the jaw dosers contract simultaneously, initiating the FC phase. After a short pause, they contract again and the prey is crushed during the SC,PS phase. Our results support the hypothesis of tongue projection in agamids by Smith ([1988] J. Morphol. 196:157-171), and show some striking similarities with muscle activity patterns during the strike in chameleons (Wainwright and Bennett [1992a] J. Exp. Biol. 168:1-21). Differences are in the activation pattern of the hyoglossus. The agamid tongue projection mechanism appears to be an ideal mechanical precursor for the ballistic tongue projection mechanism of chameleonids; the key derived feature in the chameleon tongue projection mechanism most likely lies in the changed motor pattern controlling the hyoglossus muscle.

This study was restricted to the agamid species, which are characterized by large and extensively mobile eyelids. The conjunctival surface pattern can be divided into the centrally positioned A zone coinciding largely with the tarsus, and the surrounding B zone, which includes the fornix conjunctivae. The A zone is characterized by pronounced epithelial projections or even lamellated formations, which include in some cases the lamina propria. The conjunctival epit
