Evidence toads may modulate landing preparation without predicting impact time
Biology Open, 2017 Within anurans (frogs and toads), cane toads (Bufo marinus) perform particularly controlled landings in which the forelimbs are exclusively used to decelerate and stabilize the body after impact. Here we explore how toads achieve dynamic stability across

Cromoblastomicosis Experimental en Bufo marinus
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2013 Reviewing the observations of CARINI and the experimental work of ALMEIDA and AREA LEAO, MELLO & CURY on the pathogenicity of the etiologic agents of Chromoblastomycosis inyected intraperitonealy in Salientia species Leptodactylus ocellatus and L. pentadactylus, we decided to determine the pathogenicity of Fonsecaeae pedrosoi on Bufo marinus.

Streptozotocin induced hyperglycemia in the axolotl
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Diabetes is a group of diseases characterized by loss of β cell mass and/or function, resulting in hyperglycemia. With no established curative treatment, this has initiated research in β cell regeneration. Current animal models have either limited regenerative capacity (mice) or small size and evolutionary distance from humans ...

Detection of Leptospira in cane toads (Rhinella jimi) from urban and rural Paraíba, Brazil
Veterinary Record, EarlyView.Abstract Background Leptospirosis is a significant zoonosis in tropical regions, where poor sanitation and favourable climate aid its spread. Synanthropic animals such as the cane toad (Rhinella jimi), which share environments with both people and wild and domestic animals, may harbour Leptospira and contribute to urban and rural transmission cycles ...

Pulmonary vagal modulation of ventilation in toads (Bufo marinus) [PDF]
Respiration Physiology, 2000 This study examined the role of pulmonary vagal feedback on hypercapnic chemosensitivity and breathing pattern formation in cane toads (Bufo marinus). Decerebrate, paralysed toads were uni-directionally ventilated with air, 2.5% CO(2) or 5.0% CO(2) with the lungs inflated or deflated, before and after pulmonary vagotomy.

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Mixed lineage kinase domain‐like pseudokinase (MLKL) is a key effector of necroptosis. We identified an MLKL homologue from Hexagrammos otakii, named HoMLKL. The open reading frame (ORF) of HoMLKL contained 1497 nucleotides and encoded a protein with 498 amino acids (Mw = 57.15 kDa). Bioinformatic analysis revealed that HoMLKL is highly conserved.

Invasive Colonic Entamoebiasis in Wild Cane Toads, Australia
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018 We detected a disease syndrome in free-ranging Australian cane toads involving atypical behavior and emaciation that is associated with a previously undescribed Entamoeba sp. that infiltrates the colonic lining, causing it to slough.

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020 In response to encountering abiotic extremes, many organisms exhibit stress responses as measured by levels of corticosterone and heat-shock protein (e.g., HSP70) in the blood. Such responses can enhance organismal viability.

Modulation of synaptic vesicle exocytosis in muscle-dependent long-term depression at the amphibian neuromuscular junction. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 We have labeled recycling synaptic vesicles at the somatic Bufo marinus neuromuscular junction with the styryl dye FM2-10 and provide direct evidence for refractoriness of exocytosis associated with a muscle activity-dependent form of long-term ...
