Mortality of Captive Canadian Toads from Basidiobolus ranarum Mycotic Dermatitis [PDF]
Twenty-six adult free-ranging Canadian toads (Bufo hemiophrys) were collected from northeastern North Dakota (USA) during the last week of August 1994 and placed in captivity. During late December and January 1995, 21 Canadian toads died. Clinical signs included increased time sitting in water bowls, darkened dorsal skin, constant arching of their ...

A simple method for isolation of nuclei from Basidiobolus ranarum (Zygomycota)
A simple method for isolating the nuclei from Basidiobolus ranarum was established. To improve the yield and purity of nuclei, we investigated maceration methods, buffer composition, and centrifugation conditions to establish an optimal procedure. Basidiobolus ranarum cultured for 5 days was enzymatically macerated and then homogenized and filtrated ...
