Shell morphogenesis begins at embryonic stage 15 and the shape of the shell is mostly completed by embryonic stage 19. The carapace anlagen arises as a thickening of the skin in the dorsal part of the mid-trunk region between the anterior and posterior limbs. This thickening extends ventro-laterally to form ridges at the margins of the carapace. Each ridge forms as a thick epidermal placode over a condensation of mesenchymal cells. The epidermis behind the advancing margins of the carapace is cuboidal or columnar but does not form placodes. The margins of the carapace expand rapidly in all directions. The plastron anlagen is derived from epidermal cells localised in the latero-ventral regions between the fore- and hind-limbs. Plastron placodes are present laterally, while the mid-ventral and central epidermis remains cuboidal or columnar but does not form placodes at embryonic stage 16. The plastron thickening rapidly moves from a latero-ventral position to a flat ventral position between embryonic stages 16 and 19. Dermal-epidermal anchoring complexes occur throughout placodes of both the carapace and plastron, but are rare in non-placode areas. The accumulation of a dense mesenchyme beneath the shell epidermis forms a dermal cushion that surrounds the body cavity. The superficial dermis close to the epidermis is made of mesenchymal fibroblasts at embryonic stage 19, although the inner-most areas contain bipolar fibroblasts and extracellular fibrils. Scutes with set-rations at their borders form as invaginations of the epidermis into the dermis in the mid-dorsal areas of the embryo at embryonic stages 18-19. Dermal-epidermal anchoring complexes are located around the infoldings that form the scutes of the hinge region. The epidermis of the shell has 2-3 suprabasal cells at embryonic stages 19-22, and lacks keratinisation before embryonic stage 22 when it has 4-6 suprabasal layers with 2-3 external layers made of flat cells. The dermis thickens and has numerous collagen fibrils after embryonic stage 19. The formation of dermal bones begins at embryonic stage 18-19 in the plastron. Only small areas of the carapace near to the bridge have begun to form dermal bone at embryonic stage 19. Calcification begins at embryonic stage 19, but is still incomplete at embryonic stages 24-25 Journal Article Allanson, Mathew;Georges, Arthur 1999 Diet of Elseya purvisi and Elseya georgesi (Testudines: Chelidae), a sibling species pair of freshwater turtles from eastern Australia Chelonian Conservation and Biology 3 3 473-477 AG: georges@aerg.canberra.edu.au Journal Article Alleman, A.

Animals-10 healthy snakes. Procedure-Various stains, including Wright-Giemsa, benzidine peroxidase, Sudan black B, chloroacetate esterase, cc-naphthyl butyrate esterase, acid phosphatase, leukocyte alkaline phosphatase, periodic acid-Schiff with diastase, and toluidine blue, were used to stain leukocytes differentially on multiple blood smears. Electron microscopy also was performed. Results-Lymphocytes were the most commonly observed leukocyte and could be distinguished from thrombocytes, using periodic acid-Schiff stain with diastase. Azurophils also were commonly observed; their granules stained with peroxidase. Eosinophils were not identified; however, 2 morphologic variations of heterophils were seen in the blood of ail snakes and were considered the same cell type at different stages of cytoplasmic granule development. Heterophil granules were better preserved, using a one-step Wright-Giemsa method that did not require alcohol fixation prior to staining. Degranulated heterophils were observed in all preparations. Conclusions-Most leukocytes of eastern diamondback rattlesnakes can be identified easily on Wright-Giemsa-stained preparations. However, hematologic stains that do not require alcohol fixing prior to staining may be preferred for leukocyte evaluation in certain reptiles. A limited degree of heterophil maturation may continue in the blood of healthy snakes. This, along with degranulation of heterophils, may result in a Variable staining pattern in this cell type, regardless of the stain used. Clinical Relevance-Results provide baseline data for use in hematologic testing in diagnosis of disease and monitoring of treatment of sick or injured snakes.

Most of the cases occurred between April and September (86.2 per cent), with peaks in May (25.7 per cent) and July (20.2 per cent), and very few between November and February (3.6 per cent). Forty-two per cent of the dogs were poisoned in the evening (18.00 to 22.00), with a relative risk of 6.85, 17.4 per cent between 22.00 and 02.00 and 16.5 per cent between 14.00 and 18.00. The median age of the dogs was three years, and almost 80 per cent of them were from rural households. German shepherd dogs and rottweilers were over-represented (relative risk 1-98 and 1.87 respectively), and mongrel dogs and pinschers were under-represented (relative risk 0.41 and 0.53 respectively). Fifty-six per cent of the bites were on the head (excluding the mouth, lips and pinnae), 16.5 per cent an the front limbs, 9.7 per cent on the mouth and lips, 8 per cent on the hindlimbs, 4.4 per cent were submandibular and 5.4 per cent were at other sites. The main clinical signs were local swelling (98.2 per cent) and oedema (94.5 per cent), panting (45.7 per cent), tachypnoea (42.5 per cent), pain (34.9 per cent), tachycardia (29.8 per cent), lameness (25.7 per cent), and lymphadenomegaly (23.9 per cent). The mortality rate was 3.7 per cent. The most common haematological abnormalities were neutrophilia (67.6 per cent), leucocytosis (54.9 per cent), thrombocytopenia (51.9 per cent), increased haematocrit (47.6 per cent), and a left shift of neutrophils (37.8 per cent). Many biochemical abnormalities were observed, of which the most common were high activities of lactate dehydrogenase (84.6 per cent), creatine kinase (69 per cent), gamma-glutamyltransferase (40 per cent) and aspartate aminotransferase and high concentrations of globulin. phosphate and total bilirubin (33.3 per cent in each case).

This is a new host and locality record for A. Bufonis which has only previously been recorded from amphibians in the Orient. Possible mechanisms for the introduction of A. Bufonis to Hawaii, and its transmission to the toad, are discussed. Almost 98 % of toads were infected with a mean intensify of: 28.6 acanthocephalans per infected toed. There was a significant negative correlation between host length and intensity of infection with subadult toads having significantly higher infection levels than adult male and female loads. Trunk length of both male and female acanthocephalans was significantly related to host length. Journal Article Barton, Harry L.;Guttman, Sheldon I. n.d.

We measured the effects of hemolysis on nine plasma analytes in 10 clinically normal common green iguanas (Iguana iguana). Blood samples with moderate and marked hemolysis were produced from each iguana by freezing, centrifuging, and decanting plasma from a portion of each blood sample, and combining the nonhemolyzed plasma with different amounts of hemolyzed plasma from the same individual. Moderate hemolysis significantly increased plasma phosphorus levels. Marked hemolysis significantly increased plasma values of potassium, phosphorus, total protein, and aspartate aminotransferase. The severity of hemolysis must be considered when interpreting values for these analytes in iguana plasma.

This organism also is suspected, based on electron microscopic findings, to be the cause of mortality of larval tiger salamanders in a pond over 200 km to the north during the same year. Salamanders developed a generalized viremia which resulted in various lesions including: necrotizing, vesicular and ulcerative dermatitis; gastrointestinal ulceration; and necrosis of hepatic, splenic, renal, lymphoid, and hematopoietic tissues. In cells associated with these lesions, large lightly basophilic cytoplasmic inclusions and vacuolated nuclei with marginated chromatin were consistently found. Virus was isolated from tissue homogenates of infected salamanders following inoculation of epithelioma papilloma cyprini (EPC) cells. The virus, provisionally designated Regina ranavirus (RRV), was initially identified as an iridovirus by electron microscopy. Subsequent molecular characterization, including partial sequence analysis of the major capsid protein (MCP) gene, confirmed this assignment and established that RRV was a ranavirus distinct from frog virus 3 (FV3) and other members of the genus Ranavirus. Intraperitoneal inoculation of 5 x 10(6.23) TCID50 of the field isolate caused mortality in inoculated salamanders at 13 days post infection. Field, clinical, and molecular studies jointly suggest that the etiological agent of recent salamander mortalities is a highly infectious novel ranavirus.

Two snakes had tumours of two or three different types, but the other 34 snakes had only one type. All affected animals were adults and their average time on exhibit at the NZP was 108.9 months, Malignant neoplasms (79.5%) outnumbered benign neoplasms (20.5%). Of the malignant: tumours, 19 (61.3%) were considered to have arisen in mesenchymal tissues, 11 (35.5%) were of epithelial origin, and one (3.2%) was derived from neuroectodermal tissues. All the benign neoplasms were of epithelial origin. Neoplasms of the lymphoid and haematopoietic tissues were the most common (12 cases), followed by tumours of the liver and biliary tract (seven cases) and the gastrointestinal tract (four cases).

Complete recovery of function after two years Zoo Biology 18 2 141-146 Reptilia, serpentes, northern Pacific rattlesnake, Crotalus viridis oreganus, predation, strike, searching Six northern Pacific rattlesnakes (Crotalus viridis oreganus) rescued from substandard husbandry conditions were shipped from Woodland Park Zoological Gardens to the University of Colorado in December 1994. The snakes accepted prey and rapidly gained weight, but their searching behavior after predatory strikes was seriously depressed. We administered repeated tests of strike-induced chemosensory searching (SICS) finding that the snakes improved steadily with each succeeding test, until performance eventually reached the level characteristic of this taxon. Although the snakes reached normal body weight within 4 months of exposure to proper husbandry conditions, normal SICS was not seen until 2 years had elapsed. Release of these snakes into natural habitat prior to recovery of SICS may well have resulted in the demise of the animals, suggesting that rehabilitation efforts must consider recovery of essential behavior patterns that can take far longer than recovery of body weight.

M. 1999 Physical and biochemical abnormalities associated with prolonged entrapment in a desert tortoise Journal of Wildlife Diseases 35 2 361-366 Reptilia, testudines, desert tortoise, Gopherus agassizii, pathology, dehydration, entrapment, starvation A desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) was trapped underground without food or water for nearly II mo near Yucca Mountain, Nevada (USA). Physical abnormalities included weight loss, sunken eyes, and muscle atrophy. Biochemical abnormalities determined from blood sampling included marked azotemia and hyperosmolality, which were attributed largely to accumulation and retention of nitrogenous wastes. Moderate hypercholesterolemia, hypophosphatemia, and increased aspartate transaminase activity, and mild hyperchloremia, hypocalcemia, hyperbilirubinemia and anemia also were observed, compared with results obtained from other tortoises sampled at the same time. The lack of, or only mild, alterations in most laboratory data exemplified the high degree of physiological adaptation tortoises can undergo when deprived of food and water for a prolonged period.

H. 1999 Transport of organic molecules by reptilian nephrons Journal of Experimental Zoology 283 7 675-688 Reptilia, serpentes, physiology, kidney, nephron, uric acid, amino acid This paper considers transport of glucose,amino acids, organic anions, mate, and organic cations by reptilian renal tubules. Glucose undergoes net reabsorption involving entry across the luminal membrane by a Na+-dependent, carrier mediated process. However, entry may occur down an electrochemical gradient and exit at the basolateral membrane, against an electrochemical gradient. Amino acids may undergo both net reabsorption and net secretion. Taurine reabsorption involves entry across the luminal membrane against an electrochemical gradient via two independent electrogenic, Na+ and Cl--dependent co-transport systems. Organic anions (e.g., PAH) undergo net secretion. This process involves entry into the cells at the basolateral membrane against an electrochemical gradient via a tertiary active process, the final step involving countertransport for a-ketoglutarate. Exit at the luminal membrane is down an electrochemical gradient, probably via anion exchange or carrier-mediated diffusion. Urate undergoes net secretion. This process involves transport into the cells against an electrochemical gradient via an unknown, Na+-independent, K+-sensitive, mechanism that may involve anion exchange and exit across the luminal membrane down an electrochemical gradient via what appears to be simple diffusion. Some organic cations, such as tetraethylammonium (TEA), undergo net secretion and some, such as N-1-methylnicotinamide (NMN), undergo net reabsorption. Net TEA secretion involves entry across the basolateral membrane, down an electrochemical gradient via carrier-mediated diffusion or organic anion exchange, and exit at the luminal membrane against an electrochemical gradient via countertransport for H+. Net NMN reabsorption involves entry across the luminal membrane, down an electrochemical gradient via Na+-dependent, carrier-mediated diffusion, with exit across the basolateral membrane against an electrochemical gradient via an unknown process that probably involves countertransport for an organic cation.

(18.8-71.5 cm snout-vent length (SVL)) from the Lake Chad region in Chad and Nigeria and the central delta of the Niger River in Mali. The timing of egg maturation suggests that only one large clutch can be produced in 12 months, and that egg laying occurs between late November and early January. Each year, about 45-50% of mature females, on average, lay eggs, but local sampling shows that this proportion varies greatly. Females reach sexual maturity at 36 +/- 2 cm SVL and 24 months of age. Clutch size (CS) increases from 12-13 to 53-60 eggs (average values for specimens of 36 cm and 71.5 cm SVL, respectively) with increase in SVL, according to the power function CS = 0.0049 SVL2.206 (specimens from Mali) or CS = 0.0052 SVL2.163 (specimens from the Lake Chad region). Conversely, the relative mass of the clutches (RCM) and their relative energy content (RWC) decrease during growth; hence, small (young) individuals are subjected to a much higher reproductive effort than large ones. Compared with that of most other large varanids, egg mass in the Nile monitor (38.8 g) is small, but reproductive output (CS) and effort (RCM, RWC) appear to be very high. Moreover, the specimens from Mali, where the species is heavily exploited, have a higher reproductive output and shorter longevity than those from the Lake Chad region. These data are discussed with reference to the ecology and local level of exploitation of the Nile monitor. de Buffrenil V, Museum Natl Hist Nat, Anat Comparee Lab, 55 Rue Buffon, F 75005 Paris, FRANCE Journal Article de Fraipont, Michelle;Clobert, Jean;Meylan, Sandrine;Barbault, Robert 1999 On the evolution of viviparity and egg-guarding in suamate reptiles: a reply to R.

A. 1999 Partial tracheal obstruction due to chondromas in ball pythons (Python regius) Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine 30 1 151-157 Reptilia, serpentes, ball python, Python regius, pathology, neoplasia, chondroma, trachea, obstruction Over a 9-mo period, three adult ball pythons (Python regius) (one male, two females) were evaluated for severe dyspnea. Partial obstructions of the tracheal lumen were identified radiographically and/or visualized with a 3.0-mm rigid laparoscope inserted into the tracheal lumen in all three snakes. Administration of systemic antibiotics and nebulization resulted in partial improvement of the dyspnea. In two snakes, the tracheal lesions were removed with a rigid laparoscope and a flexible biopsy instrument inserted into the tracheal lumen. The other snake died and was necropsied. Histologically, the lesions from two snakes were determined to be benign chondromas. The chondromas were composed of a variably disorganized chondroid matrix populated by quiescent, normal-appearing chondrocytes within lacunae, although the chondrocytes were increased in density compared with normal hyaline cartilage and contained rare mitotic figures. The tracheal masses in one snake grew by expansion, not invasion, and were focally continuous with a mineralized cartilage tracheal ring, suggesting a benign nature. This is the second report of tracheal chondroma in ball pythons. Tracheal chondromas are exceedingly rare in humans and domesticated animals, suggesting a possible predisposition of ball pythons for this neoplasm.

Sikorae, one U. Fimbriatus). All geckos were females 3-11 yr of age, were clinically ill on presentation, and either died or were euthanized. Necropsies showed emaciation in three geckos, with white nodular foci on coelomic surfaces in two of these geckos. The other two geckos had no gross abnormalities. Histopathologic examination revealed xanthomatosis involving the coelomic surfaces of four geckos and the ventricles of the brain in all geckos. Xanthomas in the brain were associated with various degrees of hydrocephalus. The lesions were comprised of stacks of clear clefts consistent with cholesterol crystals, and these structures were surrounded by epithelioid macrophages, multinucleated giant cells, and lymphocytes. Four geckos had active folliculogenesis, and two had foci of follicular degeneration and localized yolk coelomitis. In all cases, xanthomatosis was believed to have contributed significantly to morbidity and mortality.

Here we provide both general guidelines and specific examples for the design and implementation of effective monitoring programs for adaptive wildlife management based, in part, on lessons we have learned in the Galapagos Islands, where development of a comprehensive monitoring program for its wildlife is underway. To be effective, wildlife monitoring programs should (1) be framed by well-articulated objectives that are closely linked to management goals; (2) measure a subset of informative indicators with sampling methods that permit unbiased and statistically powerful results while minimizing costs and logistical problems; (3) ensure program continuity despite the vagaries of change in personnel, technology, and program objectives; and (4) quickly make accessible appropriately analyzed information to a wide audience, particularly policymakers. Only through such an integrated process can the adaptive ''loop'' in wildlife management be closed and management practices and policies evolve in a manner ultimately beneficial to wildlife, both in Galapagos and elsewhere.

The geckos were lethargic and moderately to severely emaciated, weighing on average 36% of the baseline body weight value. Seven gastric HBC treatments at 1-week intervals each decreased the relative output of Cryptosporidium sp. Oocysts and the prevalence of oocyst-positive fecal specimens. Histologically, after 8 weeks of therapy, seven out of 12 geckos had only single developmental stages of Cryptosporidium sp. In the intestinal epithelium, and three, one and one geckos had low, moderate and high numbers, respectively, of the pathogen developmental stages. The HBC therapy was efficacious in decreasing the parasite load in moribund geckos. Morphometric and immunologic analysis of Cryptosporidium sp. Oocyst isolates originating from Leopard geckos (E. Macularius) demonstrated differences between gecko-derived oocyst isolates and isolates of C. Serpentis recovered from snakes. (C) Inra/Elsevier, Paris.

Clinical signs were consistent with septicemia: ascites, anasarca, dyspnea, extreme lethargy, congestion of web vessels, petechial hemorrhages and sudden death. Mortality rate reached 35%, and all infections were fatal. The organism was resistant to most antibiotics but was susceptible to enrofloxacin, chloramphenicol, and trimethoprim-sulfadiazine. Treatment with trimethoprim-sulfadiazine was unsuccessful. Although the point source of the infection was not determined, several environmental reservoirs were identified, including a communal water barrel and various pieces of equipment. Molecular strain typing by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and biochemical analyses revealed that frogs were infected with a single strain of F meningosepticum. Sanitation and management procedures were effective in controlling the outbreak. Journal Article Greenacre, C. B.;Ritchie, B. W.;Latimer, K.

Three of these patients were mature males with a history of intermittent dyspnea characterized by periods of open-mouth breathing. Radiodense space-occupying masses were visible in the trachea of all three male pythons. In two of these pythons, cytologic evaluation of samples collected from the mucosal surface of the trachea failed to demonstrate pathogenic organisms or abnormal cells. Surgical removal of the affected area of trachea resulted in a return to normal breathing with no postsurgical difficulty in swallowing prey. Histologically, the masses in the trachea were suggestive of cartilaginous hyperplasia.

Journal of Zoology 248 Part 2 231-241 Reptilia, serpentes, propagation, viviparity, hypophagia, thermoregulation, anorexia Constraints on time and energy suggest that animals often will have to forgo one activity in favour of another. In the field, gravid garter snakes, Thamnophis elegans, eat little or nothing, especially late in pregnancy. In addition, they spend considerable time basking, presumably to aid development of their progeny. Apparently, therefore, a conflict exists between feeding and behaviours related to gestation. Alternatively, low feeding levels in the field might reflect reduced ability to catch food while gravid, or anorexia, attributable either to reduced space in the gut or to physiological suppression of appetite. In this study, by supplying abundant food in the laboratory, we test the hypothesis that gravid females are anorexic; we also examine the interactions among feeding, thermoregulation and reproductive condition. Typically, gravid females, whether fed or not, spent most of their time at the warm end of a gradient, as did fed non-gravid snakes; unfed non-gravid females spent significantly less time at the warm end. However, gravid snakes, even when presented with food ad libitum, ate less than non-gravid snakes, suggesting that they are anorexic while pregnant. Feeding and thermoregulatory behaviours of gravid females changed around the time of parturition (increased feeding, reduced warming rate). Comparable changes are seen in animals in the held, and are correlated with changes in movement pattern. Evidently, the tendency to eat little food is carried over into the laboratory, even when apparent proximate causes of the behaviour are removed. Although we cannot distinguish clearly between the two potential causes of anorexia, the evidence slightly favours physiological suppression of appetite. Physiological suppression of appetite while gravid would ensure that the urge to forage rather than thermoregulate does not diminish the chances of present reproductive success. By contrast, non-gravid snakes, faced with a shortage of food, lower their body temperature and reduce their metabolic costs.

Bacterial growth was obtained from 51 of the 58 cultures (88%). More than one Clostridium species was present in 79% of all positive cultures. The four most common isolates in descending order of frequency were C. sordelli, C. innocuum, C. perfringens and C. difficile. A possible contamination source are spores imbedded deeply in the folds of the skin and scales at the venipuncture site. However, it is also possible that Clostridia are normally present in the blood of lizards without producing overt disease. The interpretation of positive cultures of blood samples taken from the tail of lizards should be made with caution as definitive evidence for disease.

Terrestrial species must react to environmental cues that relate to water availability while some arboreal species have cutaneous skin secretions that can reduce evaporative water loss. The Indian tree frog, Polypedates maculatus, uses cutaneous secretions and wiping behavior to lower evaporation but also relies on moist microclimates to endure prolonged survival away from water. The related species, P. leucomystax, inhabits wetter forest habitats. Preliminary studies with this species are unable to demonstrate the expression of wiping behavior, indicating that arid habitats may be a powerful selective force for this behavior. Laboratory experiments on rehydrating toads in the genus Bufo indicate that animals are able to detect changes in barometric pressure and humidity that might result in the availability of water under field situations. Experiments with Bufonid species and with spadefoot toads, Scaphiopus couchi, show that the peptide hormone, angiotensin II, stimulates cutaneous drinking in a similar manner seen for oral drinking by other vertebrate classes. Amphibian tissues have long been used as a model for the study of basic physiological principles of epithelial ion and water transport. Recent progress with tissue cultures has provided information on the molecular structure of ion and water channels that can be applied to obtain a better understanding, at the molecular level, of ion and water balance strategies used by the wide variety of amphibian species. Terrestrial amphibians are more tolerant of dehydration than are other vertebrates and are able to store dilute urine in their urinary bladder. Toads appear to be able to detect the presence of water in their bladders in addition to the availability of water in their environment. Dehydrated toads are able to rehydrate very rapidly by the coordination of behavioral and physiological mechanisms to enhance cutaneous water absorption. The integration of behavior with cutaneous water gain, renal handling of ions and water and the role of the lymphatic system in overall water balance involves complex interactions between neural and hormonal factors. Experiments are summarized that describe the contribution of individual factors however much more information is needed before the nature of these interactions are fully understood.

Thus, we quantified the three-dimensional kinematics of the hindlimb, body and tail for five morphologically distinct species of lizard during steady-speed locomotion near maximum sprinting speed (2-5 m s(-1)). The kinematics of different species had little multivariate overlap. More than half of the strides of all species had digitigrade foot posture, but the frequency of using digitigrade foot posture varied among species. The combination of digitigrade foot posture and large foot size of the lizards contributed substantially to the high values of hip height. For each species, different suites of kinematic variables distinguished bipedal from quadrupedal strides. Interspecific morphological variation did not correspond globally to variation in kinematics, although lizard species with elongated hindlimbs took longer strides than species with shorter hindlimbs. The Froude numbers and relative stride lengths of all lizards running near maximal speeds were large compared with those reported previously for other vertebrates.

We observed that calcium and magnesium, but not phosphate, were released from the shell in association with CO2 and that the magnitude of release of each increased with solution acidity. The amount of acid titration required to maintain constant pH also increased as solution pH fell, The CO2 loss, in mmol, was approximately half the acid titration (in mmol), indicating that the evolved CO2 derives from carbonate. When the incubating solution contained lactate (50 mmol l(-1)), lactate entered the shell and again the amount entering the shell increased with solution acidity, Shell samples containing high initial lactate levels lost lactate to the solution and at high pH (7.5) acidified the solution and required NaOH titration for ps-stat control, These results are consistent with observations on anoxic turtles in vivo and confirm the important role of the shell as a source of buffer and as a storage site for lactate.

When initial egg mass was kept constant, we found that some measured egg variables such as water, lipid-free organic material, ash, calcium and magnesium in egg contents, and ash and magnesium in eggshell, remained remarkably constant, whereas other variables differed considerably among clutches. All viable eggs increased in mass over the course of incubation due to absorption of water, and mass gain during incubation was dependent on initial egg mass, temperature and substrate water potential. Variations in the wet mass of hatchlings among treatments stemmed mainly from variations in water content. Hatching success, embryonic use of energy and nutrients, and sex, size and mass of hatchlings were unaffected over a wide range of substrate moisture. The incubation length decreased as temperature increased. However, the effect of substrate moisture on duration of incubation varied with temperature. The influence of incubation temperature on the snout-vent length of hatchlings, if present, was very weak. Incubation temperatures did not affect the sex ratio and carcass dry mass of hatchlings, but significantly affected the tail length of hatchlings, with individuals from the highest temperature having the shortest tails. The energy expenditure of embryogenesis during incubation remained remarkably constant among treatments, and energy reserves in the hatchling were largely dependent on allocation of energy materials in eggs. A high incidence of dead-in-shell embryos occurred in eggs that were laid in June and, thereafter, when ambient temperatures were high. Deformed hatchlings were distributed nearly equally among treatments. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.

Both were males over 3 m long and both harboured the three pentastome genera Sebekia, Alofia and Leiperia. The genus Sebekia was represented by three species, Sebekia wedli Giglioli, 1922, Sebekia cesarisi Giglioli, 1922 and Sebekia okavangoensis Riley & Huchzermeyer, 1995. Of the genus Alofia two species, Alofia simpsoni Riley, 1994 and Alofia nilotici Riley & Huchzermeyer, 1995 were found. The male of A. Simpsoni, formerly unknown, is described and the description of the females emended. Leiperia cincinnalis Sambon, 1922 was the only Leiperia present. Whereas Sebekia and Alofia were recovered from the bronchioles and lung parenchyma, female Leiperia occurred in the trachea and bronchi, and infective larvae as well as immature males and females, were collected from the lungs, the heart and the aorta. Adult Subtriquetra (Family Subtriquetridae) were not present in the nasopharynx of either crocodile. The intensity of infection was low in the healthy crocodile and had no negative effect on the host. In contrast, the debilitated crocodile was heavily infected and its poor condition is ascribed to its high pentastome burden. Histopathology revealed lesions in the tracheal wall and the lungs accompanied by chronic granulomata with secondary fungal infection as well as severe chronic multifocal granulomatous pneumonia.

Here we analyse patterns of sexual dimorphism in neonates and adults of four species of natricine snakes, Nerodia sipedon, Storeria dekayi, Thamnophis radix, and T. sirtalis. Two measures of body size (snout-vent length, mass), four measures of head morphology (head length, head width, jaw length, and interocular distance), and tail length were obtained from wild-caught adults and from offspring born to wild-caught females. Among neonates, significant sexual dimorphism was found in body size for S. dekayi and T. sirtalis, in head dimensions for S. dekayi, T. radix, and T. sirtalis, and in tail length for all four species. Among adults, significant sexual dimorphism was found in body size, head dimensions, and tail length for all four species. The degree of sexual dimorphism in body size among adults greatly exceeded that among neonates. In contrast, the degree of sexual dimorphism in head dimensions was similar between neonates and adults. The presence of significant sexual dimorphism among neonates suggests that hypotheses regarding the evolutionary significance of sexual dimorphism in snakes should consider newborns as well as adults.

All animals showed massive diphtheroid stomatitis and glossitis. Histologically intranuclear inclusion bodies were found in large numbers in epithelial cells of the tongue. Intranuclear inclusion bodies were also detected in liver cells and in respiratory epithelial cells in one tortoise and in neurons in the brain of another animal. The inclusions consisted of nonenveloped hexagonal nucleocapsides. They measured about 110 to 140 nm and were identified as herpesviruses. A cytopathic effect was observed in a chicken embryo fibroblast cellculture.

Transmission experiments have implicated a chloroform-sensitive transforming agent present in filtered cell-free tumor homogenates in the etiology of FP. In this study, consensus primer PCR methodology was used to test the association of a chelonian herpesvirus with fibropapillomatosis. Fibropapilloma and skin samples were obtained from 17 green and 2 loggerhead turtles affected with FP stranded along the Florida coastline. Ninety-three cutaneous and visceral tumors from the 19 turtles, and 33 skin samples from 16 of the turtles, were tested. All turtles affected with FP had herpesvirus associated with their tumors as detected by PCR. Ninety-six percent (89/93) of the tumors, but only 9% (3/33) of the skin samples, from affected turtles contained detectable herpesvirus. The skin samples that contained herpesvirus were all within 2 cm of a fibropapilloma. Also, 1 of 11 scar tissue samples from sites where fibropapillomas had been removed 2 to 51 wk earlier from 5 green turtles contained detectable herpesvirus. None of 18 nor mal skin samples from 2 green and 2 loggerhead turtles stranded without FP contained herpesvirus. The data indicated that herpesvirus was delectable only within or close to tumors. To determine if the same Virus infected both turtle species, partial nucleotide sequences of the herpesvirus DNA polymerase gene were determined from 6 loggerhead and 2 green turtle samples. The sequences predicted that herpesvirus of loggerhead turtles differed from those of green turtles by only 1 of 60 amino acids in the sequence examined, indicating that a chelonian herpesvirus exhibiting minor intratypic variation was the only herpesvirus present in tumors of both green and loggerhead turtles. The FP-associated herpesvirus resisted cultivation on chelonian cell lines which support the replication of other chelonian herpesviruses. These results lead to the conclusion that a chelonian herpesvirus is regularly associated with fibropapillomatosis and is not merely an incidental finding in affected turtles.

Development of meronts and gametocytes of Garnia karyolytica nov.sp., is described in erthrocytes of the neotropical forest gecko Thecodactylus rapicaudus from Para State, north Brazil. Meronts are round to subpherical and predominantly polar in position. Forms reaching 12.0 x 10.0 mu m contain from 20-28 nuclei. Macrogametocytes and microgametocytes are predominantly elongate, lateral in the erythrocyte and average 16.6 x 6.3 mu m and 15.25 x 6.24 mu m respectively. Occasional spherical forms of both sexes occur in a polar or lateropolar position. Ail stages of development are devoid of malarial pigment. They hove a progressively lytic effect on the host-cell nucleus, particularly the mature gametocytes, which enlarge and deform the erythrocyte. Possible vector(s) of garniid parasites are considered, and phlebotomine sandflies are high on the list of suspects.

Ber. Erkrg Zootiere 39 469 Reptilia, testudines, food, feeding, supplement, Ca, P The growth of animals depends largely on food, climate, and environmental conditions and is characterized by a high variability in weight gain and in turtles and tortoises also in the development of the carapace. For the optimal growth of the animal, including the development of a healthy skeleton and a powerful shield, a well-balanced supply of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) is important. The knowledge of the digestibility of these minerals is the base for a correct supplementation. Four captive born juvenile Galapagos giant tortoises (2x1995/2x1996) of Zurich Zoo were used. The animals had an average weight of 2123 g. They were housed inside at a mean temperature of 23oC, at 65% humidity, and were exposed to a 12h light: 12h dark day including exposition to UV light. The gastrointestinal transit time was estimated to be 8-18 days. The animals were fed two different diets for 3 weeks to adjust to the diet and another 18 days during which the fecal samples were collected. Diet 1 consisted of vegetables, herbs and a mixture of different Ca sources (commercially available lime mixture, T. sepia, egg shells, shell lime). Diet 2 consisted of vegetables, herbs, and fresh curd cheese was given as an extra Ca source. Daily mixed samples of feces from all tortoises were collected from day 8 to day l8 of the feeding trial. A Weender analysis was performed and the HCI-insoluble ash was used as an endogen indicator for the determination of the digestibility. The energy content of the diet 1 was l5.23 MJ/kg dry matter; crude fiber content was 131 g/kg dry matter, protein content 194 g/kg dry matter. The Ca content of diet 1 was 5.72 % in dry matter and the Ca:P ratio in this diet was 14:1.The digestibility of Ca was 61% f 0.7% (SD). The two other examined minerals, Mg and P, had a digestibility of 62% and 79%, respectively. Diet 2 had a higher energy content of 18.1 MJlkg dry matter, due to the added curd cheese. The crude fiber content was 158 glkg dry matter and the protein content 209 g/kg dry matter. The Ca content of diet 2 was lower than in diet 1 with 0.97% in dry matter and a Ca:P ratio of 2.4:1. The digestibiiity of Ca in diet 2 was only 44% f 2% (SD). Also the digestibility of Mg was lower in diet 2 compared to diet 1 with 23%. Only the digestibility of P was a little better than in diet 1 with 86%. To our knowledge there is no published data on the digestibilities of Ca, P and Mg in tortoises. Compared to growing mammals such as calves, piglets and puppies, the digestibilities appear to be satisfactory especially in diet 1. It is interesting to note that with the lower Ca content in diet 2, the digestibility of Ca decreased. This is in contrast to other species, where a low Ca diet induces a high absorption of Ca in the intestines and therefore a better digestibility of this diet. Interestingly, also the Mg digestibility in diet 2 decreased, but Mg supply was the same in both diets. The reasons for these observations need further studies. In contrast, the digestibility of P did not change a lot although the Ca:P ratio was lower in diet 2. Further studies are planned to evaluate the digestibilities of different Ca-sources. With the data, we hope to be able to offer the animals an optimal Ca-supplementation.

In addition, there is little information on the mechanism of action of analgesic agents in amphibians. However, amphibians possess appropriate neurologic components for transmitting pain from peripheral receptors to the central nervous system and antinociceptive mechanisms to modulate pain. They are capable of displaying behavioral and physiologic modification of pain systems in response to analgesic pharmacologic agents. Therefore, pain perception in amphibians is likely analogous to that in mammals and invasive, potentially painful procedures should be accompanied by appropriate analgesia and anesthesia. Although specific doses have not been established in clinical trials, basic research into the mechanisms and regulation of endogenous opioid systems demonstrates the potential clinical benefit for the use of opioids in these animals. Other analgesics such as alpha(2)-agonists, ketamine, and tricaine methanesulfonate have also demonstrated analgesic potential.

The ventral scales were most commonly affected, and lesions began as areas of erythema and edema with vesicle formation, followed by development of caseous brown plaques. Lesions usually started where ventral scales overlapped and spread rapidly. All snakes died within 14 days after clinical signs were first noted. The deaths of three of the snakes were directly attributable to the cutaneous disease; the other snake died from renal failure and visceral gout, most likely induced by gentamicin therapy. Histologically, lesions consisted of epidermal hyperplasia and hyperkeratosis, with foci of epidermal necrosis, intraepidermal vesicle formation, and subacute inflammation of the underlying dermis. These lesions were associated with bacteria and numerous septate, branched fungal hyphae within the epidermis and overlying serocelluar crusts. Hyphae that penetrated through the superficial surface of the epidermis often formed terminal arthroconidia. The same species of fungus was isolated in pure culture from the skin of three snakes, but fungal cultures were not performed on samples from the fourth snake. The fungus has been identified as the Chrysosporium anamorph of Nannizziopsis vriesii based on its formation of solitary dermatophytelike aleurioconidia and alternate and fission arthroconidia. The source of the fungus in this outbreak was not determined; however, the warm, moist conditions under which the snakes were housed likely predisposed them to opportunistic cutaneous fungal infections.

The neutralization test (NT) was performed with the sera, Testudo herpesvirus (THV) and turtle heart cells (THC). Neutralizing antibodies were detected in five of 76 samples and the titres were 1:10-1:20. Having optimized the conditions, the dot-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Dot-ELISA) was developed and eight serum samples exhibited positive results. Five samples were positive by both NT and Dot-ELISA. The percentage of positive samples was only 6.6% (NT) and 11% (ELISA). It is suggested that THV infection is not a serious problem for the Chinese soft-shelled turtle culture in this region.

Boveroi in the small intestine of the gekkonid lizard Hemidactylus mabouia from Belem, Para north Brazil is described. Young meronts, and some of the fully grown macrogamonts, are coated with a glucocalyx which, in cross-section, has the appearance of a series of fine tubules. The wall of the parasitophorous vacuole (PV) is a single membrane, lined on the host-cytoplasm side with an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) which sometimes expends into large cisternae filled with electron-lucent, globular material. The membranal edges of the ER, canaliculi and cisternae have regularly spaced indentations filled with an electron-dense substance. Vesicular mitochondria are present in addition to those of the conventional type. Macrogamonts develop the characteristic type 1 and type 2 wall-forming bodies, and in some zygotes the cisternae containing the latter ore grossly expanded. Both types of wall-forming bodies persist in young occysts that have a distinct oocyst wall.

The snake failed to respond to diuretic therapy and was euthanased. Based on this case, it appears that bilateral congestive failure is feasible in univentricular animals with lesions restricted to one side of the heart. Loop diuretic therapy may be inappropriate in non-crocodilian reptiles because reptiles lack a loop of Henle.

Journal of Zoology 248 489-499 Reptilia, serpentes, Rhinocheilus lecontei, food, feedings, body size We explored predator specialization by examining dietary variation in the widespread North American long-nosed snake, Rhinocheilus lecontei. We examined the stomach contents of more than 800 museum specimens, and supplemented our findings with published dietary records. Sixty-six percent of 135 prey eaten by R. Lecontei were lizards, 26% were mammals, and 7% were squamate eggs; teiid lizards of the genus Cnemidophorus comprised 72% (64 of 89) of all lizard prey. Ninety-four percent of specimens with food contained a single item, and all 79 prey for which we determined direction of ingestion were swallowed head-first. Among those specimens containing food, long-nosed snakes from Mexico were significantly larger, and ate a higher percentage of mammals, than specimens from the United States. Larger R. Lecontei sometimes fed on larger prey, and perhaps excluded smaller prey from their diet. To assess relative trophic niche breadth for R lecontei, we compared the percentage of lizards and of Cnemidophorus in the diet of long-nosed snakes with the percentage with which other terrestrial snakes consumed lizards as their modal prey, and with which these same snakes ate members of their preferred lizard prey genus. Although we uncovered no statistical basis for labelling R. Lecontei a specialist, its diet may often be restricted to lizards and even to Cnemidophorus, and therefore recognizing long-nosed snakes as specialist predators remains a subjective decision. Our study also demonstrates that quantitative natural history can place related species in a resource use continuum, and thereby can help to elucidate the evolutionary basis for specialization.

Tortoises were orotracheally intubated while awake and ventilated manually with 3-7% sevoflurane in oxygen (1 L/min) to achieve desired expired sevoflurane concentrations. Data, consisting of induction time, recovery time, systolic, diastolic, and mean ventricular pressures, heart rate, ventricular pH, blood gas values, and electrolytes, were collected prior to anesthesia and sequentially at 2.50% and 3.75% expired sevoflurane as measured at the junction of the endotracheal tube and the breathing circuit. Blood pressure was measured and blood samples were collected through a 25-ga needle passed through a cardiac access port that was placed while the tortoises were in dorsal recumbency. Mean (+/-SE) induction time was 2.55 +/- 0.55 min, recovery time was 27.58 +/- 7.55 min, and duration of anesthesia was 105 +/- 12 min. Mean (+/-SD) values for systolic, diastolic, and mean ventricular pressures in awake tortoises were 28 +/- 3 mm Hg, 22 +/- 2 mm Hg, and 24 +/- 2 mm Hg, respectively. Sevoflurane (2.5% expired) significantly decreased systolic (14 +/- 3 mm Hg), diastolic (12 +/- 1 mm Hg), and mean (13 +/- 1 mm Hg) ventricular pressures compared with those of awake tortoises. Ventricular pressures did not decrease further with increasing depth of anesthesia. Heart rate (32 +/- 4 beats/min) did not change significantly under sevoflurane anesthesia. Sevoflurane administration increased ventricular Po-2 but did not change Na+, K+, or iCa(++) concentrations. Sevoflurane appears to provide safe and effective anesthesia with rapid induction and recovery.

Physical examination revealed a slightly raised subcutaneous mass (1 cm diameter) in the left scapular area. Fine-needle aspiration cytology of the mass revealed a population of immature, pleomorphic lymphoid cells consistent with lymphosarcoma. A hemogram indicated marked leukocytosis (465,000 cells/mu l) characterized by extreme lymphocytosis and many circulating lymphoid blast cells. The lizard was euthanized at the owner's request. Necropsy revealed severe hepatomegaly and multiple raised, ulcerated mural mosses in the gastrointestinal tract. There were many raised, poorly demarcated tan foci in all the parenchymal organs. Histopathologic examination confirmed infiltration of all parenchymal organs by neoplastic lymphoid cells. Transmission electron microscopic examination failed to identify viruses within the neoplastic cells. A literature review revealed few reports of squamate leukemia and lymphosarcoma and none in Savannah monitor lizards.

Despite the availability of a number of identification guides with varying degrees of generality, identification can be problematic for several reasons. These include a diversity of common names, many of which are inappropriate or regionally applied to different species, identification keys that focus on variable features, intraspecific variation and interspecific convergence in colouration, and recent changes in scientific nomenclature of species and genera. Geographic distribution of the dangerously venomous species can be a useful aid to identification, by limiting the range of options in a region. However, delineation of the limits of distribution relies on fine scale mapping beyond the resolution of most identification guides. This article provides a summary of the geographic limits of the dangerously venomous Australian snakes, with particular emphasis on major population centres, and clarifies some problems in identification, particularly among brown-coloured snakes.

Bulletin of the Association of Reptilian And Amphibian Veterinarians 9 2 26-29 Amphibia, urodela, Tiger salamander, Ambystoma tigrinum, pathology, tumor An adult male tiger salamander, Ambystoma tigrinum, of unknown age presented with an expanding mass on the dorsum. The mass was surgically removed, and the wound was allowed to heal by second intention. The area was kept protected by a Nexaband bandage, which was reapplied approximately every seven days. The resected mass was examined histopathologically and was interpreted as a soft tissue sarcoma In addition, a peripheral blood smear taken at the time of surgery revealed a marked eosinophilia With a shift towards immaturity, consistent with an eosinophilic leukemia, or a marked reactive eosinophilia such as that seen in idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome. The animal recovered well from the surgery and by two months, post-operatively the wound had completely healed. However, tumor recurrence was evident, and by six months after the surgery the tumor had regrown to its original size. Eight months post-operatively the animal was euthaninized due to copious hemorrhage from the ulcerated tumor. Spontaneous neoplastic metastases were reported in all major organ systems in both anuran and urodele amphibians, but with less frequency in the urodeles. Tumors of the integument are well represented, but neoplasia of the hematopoietic cells are rare. The possible presence of two different tumors would be unusual, indicating possible exposure to carcinogens, concurrence of certain skin tumors and chronic myelogenous leukemia has been reponed in humans, as well as occasional association of malignant neoplasias with eosinophilia. Surgery was well tolerated by the salamander, and the wound healed well by second intention. This case report illustrates that with little knowledge of amphibian anatomy and physiology, tumors can be managed in these imimals.

The blood samples were collected on days 1, 3, 5, and 10 after initiation of the experiment, and plasma calcium and phosphate levels were analysed. In 1,25(OH)(2)D-3-injected newts there was a progressive hypercalcemia from day 1 to day 3. On day 5 and day 10 the levels were not significantly different from vehicle-injected newts. The plasma phosphate levels increased from day 3 to day 5. On day 10 the levels became almost normal. To the best of our knowledge the present study is the first report from urodeles clearly indicating a true calcium and phosphate regulatory role of the vitamin DQ endocrine system and 1,25(OH)(2)D-3 as a biologically active calcium and phosphate-regulating hormone in this group of vertebrates. 1999.

Eight juvenile 1.25 +/- 0.18 kg turtles were divided into two groups. Four animals received 20 mg/kg of ceftazidime i.v. and four received the same dose i.m. Plasma ceftazidime concentrations were analyzed by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The i.v, and i.m, administration half-lives were 20.59 +/- 3.24 hr and 19.08 +/- 0.77 hr, respectively. The volume of distribution was 0.42 +/- 0.07 L/kg, and the systemic clearence was 0.217 +/- 0.005 ml/min/kg. Ceftazidime was detected in all blood samples and its concentration exceeded the minimum inhibitory concentration for Pseudomonas for 60 hr after i.m. and i.v. injections.

Adult worms were parasitic in the intestines of freshwater turtles, Chelodina expansa (D. pearsoni and D. megapharynx) and Emydura macquarii (D. anfracticirrus), and appeared to be host-specific. The three species had similar, three-host, aquatic life-cycles and each life-cycle was followed experimentally. The planorbid snail Glyptophysa gibbosa served as the first intermediate host for each species. Tadpoles of Limnodynastes peronii and snails G. gibbosa and Austropeplea lessoni served as second intermediate hosts. Dingularus spp. eggs were fully embryonated and infective when laid. They remained viable for 2-3 months in water but did not hatch until eaten by G. gibbosa. Miracidia were stimulated in the stomach of the snail host but did not hatch until eggs passed into the intestine. Hatching occurred in only the anterior fifth of the intestine. Hatched miracidia were not passed with the snail faeces. The pre-patent period in the snail differed in each species: D. anfracticirrus 42 days, D. pearsoni 23 days and D. megapharynx 32 days.

R. 1999 Description and life-cycle of Thrinascotrema brisbanica n. g., n. sp (Digenea : Plagiorchiida), a parasite of the freshwater turtle Elseya latisternum from Australia, and the erection of the family Thrinascotrematidae Systematic Parasitology 43 3 217-227 Reptilia, testudines, freshwater turtle, Elseya latisternum, infection, helminth, trematode, Thrinascotrema brisbanica n. g., n. sp (Digenea : Plagiorchiida) A new genus and species, Thrinascotrema brisbanica, is proposed to accommodate a plagiorchiidan trematode parasitic in the stomach of the freshwater turtle Elseya latisternum. The distinctive taxonomic features of the parasite are the shape and extent of the excretory bladder, and the stenostomate arrangement of the excretory collecting ducts in the adult, cercaria and metacercaria together with a cercarial protonephridial formula of 2(12+12+12)+(12+12+12). The life-cycle is three- host and aquatic. The pulmonate snail Glyptophysa gibbosa served as both a first and second intermediate host and tadpoles of Limnodynastes peronii, Adelotus brevis and Bufo marinus, and the snail Austropeplea lessoni also served as second intermediate hosts. Eggs were fully embryonated and infective when laid, but did not hatch until eaten by the snail. Cercariae first emerged 55 days after infection at 24-28 degrees C. They were sluggish swimmers and survived for about 48 hr. They attached firmly to the skin of snails and tadpoles on contact and began to penetrate the skin after a short exploratory migration. Metacercariae survived in snails and tadpoles for at least 3 months. It is concluded that Thrinascotrema is best placed within a new family, the Thrinascotrematidae (Digenea: Plagiorchiida), based on the unusual morphology of the excretory system.

Crocodiles were captured from tidal reaches of the estuary ranging in salinity from 0.5-24 parts per thousand and from several permanent fresh water reaches more or less remote from saline waters. C. johnstoni is an effective osmoregulator in moderately saline waters and has osmoregulatory mechanisms very similar to its more marine-adapted relative, the estuarine crocodile Crocodylus porosus. Fasted C. johnstoni in brackish water appear to lose little sodium in cloacal urine, relying on their lingual salt glands for excretion of excess sodium chloride. The lingual glands show clear evidence of short-term and long-term acclimation to salt water. Like estuarine crocodiles, C. johnstoni drinks fresh water and will not drink sea water. Gross sodium and water fluxes in brackish water are very similar to those in other crocodilians, suggesting differences in integumental permeability are not a major influence on osmoregulatory differences between crocodilians. The data reinforce the hypothesis that crocodylids differ fundamentally from alligatorids in the structure and function of the renal-cloacal-salt gland complex and are of interest in current debate over the evolutionary and zoogeographical history of the eusuchian crocodilians.

Seven of 10 (70%) toads that had their ventral skin mildly abraded and exposed to B. ranarum developed hyperemia, and sloughing of their ventral skin and died. Toads with abraded ventral skin or exposure to infected skin also were affected statistically at a higher rate than those with abraded skin and exposure to pure cultures of B, ranarum innoculated into their water source. Of toads showing clinical disease, B. ranarum was identified by both impression smears and histology in all cases, but not from toads that appeared clinically healthy. The organism was cultured from 5 of 7 (71%) toads with clinical disease but not from any toad that appeared clinically healthy (n = 28). This study documents methods of experimental transmission of B. ranarum, an organism responsible for causing a mycotic dermatitis that is fatal to toads.

During late and 1995, 21 Canadian toads died. Clinical signs included increased time sitting in water bowls, darkened dorsal skin, constant arching of their backs, and hyperemia and sloughing of ventral epidermis. The condition progressively worsened until death occurred within 5 to 7 days after onset of clinical disease. Mycotic dermatitis due to Basidiobolus ranarum was diagnosed in all toads and the fungus was isolated from 11 (52%) of 21 toads. Histology of the ventral skin and digits revealed numerous fungal spherules and occasional hyphae without significant inflammatory reaction. This condition clinically resembled red leg associated with Aeromonas hydrophila and many other bacterial organisms, and the diseases could be confused without appropriate diagnostic tests. This also is the first report of B. ranarum causing clinical dis ease in a toad species.

Toads exposed to malathion thigh or low dose) and challenged with A. hydrophila had clinical disease, hepatomegaly, and died at a higher rate [9 (90%) of 10] than toads exposed to malathion alone (P < 0.002). Toads exposed to the high and low doses of malathion had a 22% and 17% decrease in brain cholinesterase levels, respectively, when they were compared to nonmalathion exposed toads (P < 0.025, P < 0.006). It appears that field grade malathion applied externally to adult Woodhouse's toads may cause increased disease susceptibility when challenged with a potentially pathogenic bacteria.

Approximately 3 to 10 days after hibernation emergence, all toads were hormonally induced to breed, and paired. Each pair was placed in their own breeding tank. Four toads developed clinical signs of disease which included lethargy and multiple (4 to 12) small (2 mm) raised hyperemic nodules with white fuzzy caps on the ventral skin. The condition progressively worsened until death occurred, within 3 to 6 days. Mycotic dermatitis caused by Mucor sp. was diagnosed in the four toads through histology and isolation of the organism. This is the first case report of a Mucor sp. causing a fatal dermatitis in an amphibian without significant inflammatory response and without systemic involvement.

These consisted of 108 free-ranging toads and 170 animals from six captive populations. Ninety seven (90%) of 108 free-ranging toad carcasses were submitted during September and October. From 1989 to 1992, 27 (77%) of 35 mortalities in the captive populations occurred in October, November, and December. From 1993 to 1996, mortality in captive toads occurred without a seasonal pattern and coincided with changes in hibernation protocols that no longer mimicked natural cycles. Cause of mortality was determined in 147 (53%) of the 278 cases. Mycotic dermatitis with secondary bacterial septicemia was the most frequent diagnosis in 104 (71%) of 147 toads. Basidiobolus ranarum was found by microscopic examination of skin sections in 100 (96%) of 104 of these mortalities. This fungus was isolated from 30 (56%) of 54 free-ranging and 24 (48%) of 50 captive toads. This research documents the causes of mortality for both free-ranging and captive endangered Wyoming toads over a 7 yr period.

Because of their peculiar anatomy and other biological aspects, application of methods and agents frequently used with other animals needs special attention and consideration. The authors describe various methods of administering inhalation, parenteral, and combination anesthetics to snakes. They also report their own experiences with anesthesia on two Hungarian snake species (Vipera, ursinii rakosiensis, Natrix natrix), During these experiments, the snakes were anesthetized with halothane with the use of a special equipment modified horn a customary veterinary anesthetic apparatus. Monitoring the intensity of anesthesia is also emphasized, Doses of different anesthetic agents and their effects on snakes are summarised in a table.

Because it is often not known what happens to the animals during their capture transport, and storage, in known 1997 we carried out a study on the health and welfare of these animals. During the course of this study we controlled the transport of exotic animals and visited several dealers and owners. Many of the health problems of these animals can be related to the accumulation of stressors that the animals experience during the trade process. Examples of these stressors are physical injury, overcrowding, dehydration, and long journeys. Transport in itself is an important emotional stressor. Health problems caused by stress, which can lead to prenmature death, often become apparent only after the animal has been sold as pet.

Both live in varied ecological environments where water may be either very abundant or exceedingly scarce. Anolis carolinensis is an arboreal species of the southern United Stales; in its environment, water is constantly available in drops or small reservoirs. Oplurus cuvieri lives in northwestern Madagascar, enduring very dry and very wet seasons and high insolation. In the dry season, few pools of water or dewdrops remain available. Light and X-ray filming of drinking revealed that the two species almost always use similar mechanisms to introduce water into the buccal cavity. During immersion, the tongue is used to collect water and push it from the front to the back of the buccal cavity. During emersion, water readies the esophagus, mainly as a result of gravity. In A. Carolinensis, this mechanism is used regardless of the amount of water available. In O. Cuvieri, the role of the tongue is less important when water is abundant. In similar conditions, therefore, the two species of Iguania use similar mechanisms for collecting and swallowing water. This drinking mechanism has been observed in Lacerta viridis in the sister-group Scleroglossa.

A.;Wetzel, R. 1999 Tissue and plasma enzyme activities in juvenile green iguanas American Journal of Veterinary Research 60 2 201-203 Reptilia, sauria, green iguana, physiology, tissues, values, alcaline phosphatase Objective-To determine activities of intracellular enzymes in 8 major organs in juvenile green iguanas and to compare tissue and plasma activities. Animals-6 green iguanas < 1 year old. Procedure-Lysates of liver, kidney, epaxial muscle, heart, lung, spleen, small intestine, and pancreas were analyzed for alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), creatine kinase (CK), glutamate dehydrogenase (GMD), and amylase (AMS) activities. Results-in general, low tissue enzyme activity coincided with low plasma activity. The CK activity was high in epaxial muscle and the heart and low in all other tissues tested. The AMS activity was found exclusively in the pancreas. Moderate LDH and AST activities were found in all tissues. Low ALT and ALP activities were found in a variety of tissues. Plasma and tissue activities of GGT and GMD were low or undetectable. Conclusions and Clinical Relevance-Results suggest that plasma CK activity may be muscle specific in iguanas, but high values may not always indicate overt muscle disease. The AMS activity may be specific for the pancreas, but the wide range of plasma activity would likely limit its diagnostic usefulness. Activities of AST and LDH may reflect tissue damage or inflammation, but probably do not reflect damage to specific tissues or organs.

Single-dose and multidose pharmacokinetic parameters were determined for clarithromycin in wild-caught desert tortoises (Gopherus agassizii) seropositive for M. agassizii. Clarithromycin blood levels were measured in three tortoises for up to 72 hr after a single oral dose of 7.5 mg/kg. In a second group of six tortoises, levels were measured after a dose of 15 mg/kg. Noncompartmental iterative two-stage Bayesian and nonparametric expectation maximization pharmacokinetic parameters were determined for each animal assuming first order rate constants. At 15 mg/kg, the maximum concentration was 1.37 mu g/ml, the time to maximum concentration was 8.0 hr, and a plasma half-life of 11.69 hr was derived from the latter method. The absorption constant was 0.08/hr; the absorption half-life was 8.47 hr, and the weight-normalized volume of distribution was 5.30 L/kg. Predictions derived by the latter method suggested a dosage of 15 mg/kg p.o. every 24 hr to achieve maximal blood levels of greater than or equal to 1 mu g/ml for multiple dosing. However, results from a preliminary multidose study with three tortoises indicate that the drug is accumulated; therefore, the predicted dose may be closer to 15 mg/kg p.o, every 2-3 days to maintain blood levels of 2-7.5 mu g/ml. (For n = 3, 2-point linear regression median estimates for the apparent elimination rate constant (K) and half-life are 0.0227/hr and 30.52 ht, respectively.) This multidose accumulation reflects a slower apparent elimination than that predicted in the eight single-dose tortoises (i.e., K = 0.0593/hr, t(1/2) = 11.69 hr). This study highlights a potential pitfall of depending solely on single-dose studies and the potential value of oral administration in reptiles.

The thyroid hormone receptor functions as a master control factor that can both activate and repress genes in controlling the transformation of the larval tadpole to the adult frog. We have made use of the microinjection of both Xenopus laevis oocytes and embryos to investigate the molecular mechanisms involved in this regulation of transcription. We define three steps in the regulation of transcription by thyroid hormone receptor: the establishment of a repressive chromatin structure, disruption of chromatin and transcriptional activation. Our results also suggest that there are four major stages in the developmental control of gene expression during metamorphosis 1) Tissue and stage specific expression during embryonic development prior to tadpole hatching independent of thyroid hormone receptor, 2) The general repression of transcription of these genes by thyroid hormone receptor after tadpole hatching (stage 36), but prior to the production of thyroid hormone, which is first detectible in the circulating plasma around stage 55. 3) The activation of transcription dependent on thyroid hormone and receptor at metamorphosis (stages 55-66), 4) The acquisition of tissue specific and possibly thyroid hormone-independent patterns of gene activity.

In B. Arietans, the hisses have a clear quadraphasic pattern consisting of an initial exhalatory hiss, a brief transitional pause, an inhalatory hiss and a rest or breath-holding phase. Simultaneous recordings of body diameter, electrical activity in the intrinsic laryngeal musculature, airflow through the nasal passageway acid sound production revealed that the anterior respiratory tract plays a passive role in hissing and that the costal pump is responsible for generating the quadraphasic pattern. During hissing, B. Arietans uses the same mechanics previously described for normal respiratory ventilation in snakes. Analyses of artificial hisses reveal that the anterior respiratory tract of B. Arietans has little ability to modify an exhalant airstream acoustically. The combination of the simple ventilatory mechanics used during hissing and the lack of acoustic modification of the exhalant airstream results in the production of an acoustically simple hiss. Cross-correlation matrix analyses of a variety of snake hisses showed a high degree of acoustic similarity between the sounds, almost approaching the levels determined for white noise. This high level of acoustic similarity reflects the low level of acoustic specialization within the sounds produced by snakes and the low potential for encoded information content.

Previous anatomical and physiological studies have raised the possibility of blood Row through this foramen playing an important role in the redistribution of blood throughout the body, particularly during periods of hemostatic stress. Echocardiography was employed to view the heart of unanesthetized specimens of the eastern diamondback rattlesnake, Crotalus adamanteus. The echocardiographic images, and particularly the color Doppler imaging, revealed that the patency of the interaortic foramen changes during the cardiac cycle, and that blood regularly flowed through the interaortic foramen between the two aortae.

We found that the skin of both morphs takes up Ca2+ in a manner that is proportional to external [Ca2+], saturable and oriented against the electrochemical gradient for Ca2+. We conclude that this uptake occurs by active transport. Kinetic analysis yields affinities for calcium ions that are similar to the affinities for both Ca2+ and Na+ in the skin of other amphibians. The capacity for calcium is similar to Ca2+ capacity in other amphibians. The capacity for Ca2+ is lower than the capacity for Na+. Cutaneous Ca2+ deposits are lower in this urodele than found in anurans. Adults tend to have higher levels of Ca in their skin than do larvae.
