Boid Inclusion Body Disease (BIBD) Is Also a Disease of Wild Boa Constrictors

2022
ABSTRACTReptarenaviruses cause Boid Inclusion Body Disease (BIBD), a potentially fatal disease, occurring in captive constrictor snakes boas and pythons worldwide. Classical BIBD, characterized by the formation of pathognomonic cytoplasmic inclusion bodies (IBs), occurs mainly in boas, whereas in pythons, for example, reptarenavirus infection most ...

INVESTIGATION OF THE TRACHEAL MUCOCILIARY CLEARANCE IN SNAKES WITH AND WITHOUT BOID INCLUSION BODY DISEASE AND LUNG PATHOLOGY

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2018
Pneumonia is a common complication of boid inclusion body disease (BIBD) in snakes. The tracheal mucociliary apparatus of eight boas ( Boa constrictor) and two pythons ( Python regius, Morelia viridis) was examined to assess whether absent or reduced mucociliary clearance could be a predisposing factor.

Detection and prevalence of boid inclusion body disease in collections of boas and pythons using immunological assays

The Veterinary Journal, 2016
Inclusion body disease (IBD) of boas and pythons is characterized by the intracytoplasmic accumulation of an antigenic 68 kDa viral protein IBDP, more recently known as the nucleoprotein (NP) of the reptarenaviruses. Blood samples of 131 captive boas and pythons (53 boa constrictors, Boa constrictor; 35 rainbow boas, Epicrates cenchria; 22 ball pythons,

Use of an ELISA to Survey Exposure of Wild Caught Boa Constrictors, Boa Constrictor, to Retroviruses Isolated from Boids with Inclusion Body Disease

Journal of Herpetological Medicine and Surgery, 2005
ABSTRACT Fifty eight plasma samples, collected in the wild, from Brazilian boa constrictors, Boa constrictor, were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for exposure to a retrovirus isolate obtained from captive boa constrictors with inclusion body disease (IBD).

[Inclusion Body Disease (IBD of Boids)--a haematological, histological and electron microscopical study].

Berliner und Munchener tierarztliche Wochenschrift, 2013
Our objective was to evaluate diagnostic tools for the detection of Inclusion Body Disease (IBD) in bold snakes. The aetiology of IBD is unknown, and the disease has non-specific clinical signs, hence there is a need for a clinically-applicable, specific diagnostic method.

Cell culture co- and superinfection experiments suggest that transmission during captivity contributes to the presence of reptarenavirus S and L segment swarms in boid inclusion body disease-positive snakes

Journal of General Virology
Boid inclusion body disease (BIBD) caused by reptarenaviruses affects captive constrictor snake collections worldwide. The disease manifests by the formation of cytoplasmic inclusion bodies in various tissues. Curiously, a snake with BIBD nearly always carries a swarm of reptarenavirus small and large segments rather than a single pair, and the ...
