MUCOR AMPHIBIORUM IN THE TOAD, BUFO MARINUS, IN AUSTRALIA [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Wildlife Diseases, 1994
Mucor amphibiorum, a fungus previously found in captive amphibians in Europe and the platypus in Australia, was observed in free-ranging toads, Bufo marinus, in Australia. In tissues the fungus occurred as sphaerules 4.9 to 36.4 microns in diameter; hyphae were not formed. Some spharules developed two to 11 daughter sphaerules internally and these were

Helpful invaders: Can cane toads reduce the parasite burdens of native frogs?

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2015
Many invading species have brought devastating parasites and diseases to their new homes, thereby imperiling native taxa. Potentially, though, invaders might have the opposite effect. If they take up parasites that otherwise would infect native taxa, but

Palytoxin acts on Na(+),K (+)-ATPase but not nongastric H(+),K (+)-ATPase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Palytoxin (PTX) opens a pathway for ions to pass through Na,K-ATPase. We investigate here whether PTX also acts on nongastric H,K-ATPases. The following combinations of cRNA were expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes: Bufo marinus bladder H,K-ATPase alpha ...

Evidence toads may modulate landing preparation without predicting impact time

open access: yesBiology 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

open access: yesRevista 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.
