Undifferentiated Carcinoma in the Ovary of a Boa Constrictor (Boa constrictor ortoni)

The Journal of Zoo Animal Medicine, 1988
A long-term captive Peruvian red-tail boa constrictor (Boa constrictor ortoni) exhibited anorexia and weight loss prior to sudden death. An undifferentiated carcinoma with characteristics of a granulosa cell tumor was identified. Metastasis was manifested as nodules embedded in par aovar?an mesentery and the surface of the liver.

The ultrastructure and enzymatic activity of the boa constrictor (Constrictor constrictor) skin during the resting phase

Journal of Ultrastructure Research, 1967
The epithelium of the boa constrictor is shown to have five ultrastructurally distinct layers. These are a basal layer of relatively undifferentiated germinal cells and intermingled melanocytes; a differentiating layer of spinous cells, similar to mammalian spinous cells and containing specialized clear cells which may be in the process of maturation ...

Cytoarchitecture of nucleus sphericus in the common boa, Constrictor constrictor

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1973
AbstractThe normal anatomy of nucleus sphericus in the common boa (Constrictor constrictor) is described here on the basis of routine light microscopic and Golgi material. Nucleus sphericus is a cup‐shaped aggregation of cells lying in the forebrain posterior to the anterior commissure and consisting of three concentric layers.

Melanocyte activity in the epidermis of the Boa constrictor (Constrictor constrictor) during the sloughing cycle

The Anatomical Record, 1973
AbstractEpidermal melanocytes are easily identifiable in the skin of the Boa Constrictor throughout the whole skin cycle. Intensity of the dopa reaction, however, varies. It is at its peak just before the skin enters its resting phase when the melanization of the beta layer of the epidermis is complete. There is no pigment transfer when those layers of

Quantitative studies on motoneurons: Hypoglossal neurons in the boa constrictor, Constrictor constrictor

The Anatomical Record, 1973
AbstractThis study gives a quantitative description of hypoglossal neurons in the common boa, Constrictor constrictor. In this animal the hypoglossal nuclei are spatially distinct from the ventral horns and do not contain subnuclei. They contain a mean ± S.D. of 942 ± 162 neurons, many of which have double nucleoli.

Clinical and pathological findings in a red-tailed boa constrictor (Boa constrictor constrictor) with a primary neural neoplasm

Journal of Herpetological Medicine and Surgery, 2016
Abstract A 22-year-old red-tailed boa constrictor, Boa constrictor constrictor, was evaluated for neurologic abnormalities including cervical weakness and right-sided optical and thermal blindness. Previous diagnostic testing of this individual had ruled out inclusion body disease of boids as a cause of the neurologic signs.

Captive Husbandry and Breeding of Boa Constrictors, Boa constrictor spp

Journal of Herpetological Medicine and Surgery, 2001
ABSTRACT Since boa constrictors, Boa constrictor spp, have been and continue to be a popular part of herpetoculture it is important for reptile veterinarians to be familiar with their captive husbandry. Appropriate care is outlined in this paper. Breeding techniques are also suggested for those who are interested in captive propagation.

Use of an ELISA for detection of antibody responses in Argentine boa constrictors (Boa constrictor occidentalis)

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 2003
Abstract Objective—To develop mouse monoclonal and rabbit polyclonal antibodies against immunoglobulin of Argentine boa constrictors and to demonstrate the ability of these reagents to detect antibody responses in boa constrictors by use of an ELISA and western blot analysis. Animals—Two 3-year-old Argentine boa constrictors.

Predation of Alouatta puruensis by Boa constrictor

Primates, 2013
Reports of successful predator attacks on primates are rare. Primates from all major radiations are particularly susceptible to raptors, carnivores, and snakes. Among New World primates, reports of snake predation are limited to medium- and small-bodied species.
