Modelling torus behaviour in a fish farming cage
A Yellowtail school that rotates around a common axis with an empty core was reproduced by a simulation model. (a) a projection of the school on the x–z plane and (b) a projection of the school on the x–y plane. Abstract Since it is not usually possible to observe all of the fish in a school, it is difficult to monitor farmed fish in a crowded cage ...

Differential Disease Susceptibilities in Experimentally Reptarenavirus-Infected Boa Constrictors and Ball Pythons. [PDF]
Inclusion body disease (IBD) is an infectious disease originally described in captive snakes. It has traditionally been diagnosed by the presence of large eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusions and is associated with neurological, gastrointestinal, and ...

Two types of diets with low and normal protein levels were fed to genetically improved farmed tilapia. The results suggest that insufficient dietary proteins are likely to restrict growth and weaken disease resistance. The pellet feed diets with low protein level strongly affected the gut microbial composition and significantly decreased intestinal ...

In vitro isolation and molecular identification of reptarenavirus in Malaysia [PDF]
Boid inclusion body disease (BIBD) is a viral disease of boids caused by reptarenavirus. In this study, tissue from naturally infected boid snakes were homogenized and propagated in African Monkey kidney (Vero) and rat embryonic fibroblast (REF) cells ...

Widespread recombination, reassortment, and transmission of unbalanced compound viral genotypes in natural arenavirus infections. [PDF]
Arenaviruses are one of the largest families of human hemorrhagic fever viruses and are known to infect both mammals and snakes. Arenaviruses package a large (L) and small (S) genome segment in their virions.

Cytoplasmic Inclusions in Corn Snakes, Elaphe guttata, Resembling Inclusion Body Disease of Boid Snakes [PDF]
ABSTRACT Three neonatal, captive-bred com snakes, Elaphe guttata, from a clutch of nine eggs were found dead after a short period of anorexia and opisthotonus. Histological examination of tissue samples revealed eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusions in hepatocytes and brain endothelial cells.

A Disease Resembling Inclusion Body Disease of Boid Snakes in Captive Palm Vipers (Bothriechis Marchi) [PDF]
Between April 1998 and June 1999, 8 palm vipers ( Bothriechis marchi) were diagnosed with a disease similar to inclusion body disease (IBD) of boids. Six palm vipers were captive bred, and 2 were wild caught. All of the vipers were adults at the time of death.

Occurrence of mite Ophionyssus natricis (Acari: Macronyssidae) on captive snakes from Panama [PDF]
We report for the first time the presence of the snake mite, Ophionyssus natricis (Gervais) (Mesostigmata: Macronyssidae) on captive snakes kept at Panama City, Panama. This occurrence adds a new record to the geographical distribution of O.
