“Boid inclusion body disease”: het enigma ontrafeld?
“Boid inclusion body disease” (BIBD) is een wereldwijd voorkomende aandoening bij boa’s en pythons. De exacte oorzaak van de aandoening bleef gedurende lange tijd onopgehelderd. Recent werd met behulp van hedendaagse diagnostische methoden en experimentele studies overtuigend bewijs geleverd dat reptarenavirussen het oorzakelijk agens zijn van BIBD. In

Characterization of Haartman Institute snake virus-1 (HISV-1) and HISV-like viruses-The representatives of genus Hartmanivirus, family Arenaviridae. [PDF]
The family Arenaviridae comprises three genera, Mammarenavirus, Reptarenavirus and the most recently added Hartmanivirus. Arenaviruses have a bisegmented genome with ambisense coding strategy.

Arenaviruses are bi-segmented negative-stranded RNA viruses, which were until recently only detected in rodents and humans. Now highly divergent arenaviruses have been identified in boid snakes with inclusion body disease (IBD). Here, we describe the identification of a new species and variants of the highly divergent arenaviruses, which were detected ...

Blind trading: A literature review of research addressing the welfare of Ball pythons in the exotic pet trade [PDF]
Extensive numbers of Ball pythons are caught, bred, traded and subsequently kept in captivity across the world as part of the exotic pet industry. Despite their widespread availability as pets, relatively little is known about the potential welfare ...

Identification of a Novel Deltavirus in Boa Constrictors [PDF]
Hepatitis D virus (HDV) forms the genus Deltavirus unassigned to any virus family. HDV is a satellite virus and needs hepatitis B virus (HBV) to make infectious particles.

Fission–fusion dynamics in the social networks of a North American pitviper
Western diamondback rattlesnakes (Crotalus atrox) exhibit modular networks centered on reproductive females and stemming from fission/fusion dynamics related to annual cycles and communal denning. Abstract Many animal species exist in fission–fusion societies, where the size and composition of conspecific groups change spatially and temporally. To help

From evolutionary ecosystem simulations to computational models of human behavior
Taking inspiration from evolutionary ecosystems which combine evolutionary computation with agent‐based modeling provides a novel methodology for the scientific investigation of human cognition, making new predictions, and improving our understanding of human behaviors.
